In connection with the tragic incident that took place on the Main Campus of the University of Warsaw, we express our deep sorrow and solidarity with the UW community. The entire Nencki Institute community is deeply shocked by the brutal act of violence that took place in a space that should stand for safety, dialogue, and mutual respect.
May 8 has been declared a Day of Mourning at the University of Warsaw by its Rector, Professor Alojzy Z. Nowak. Let this day also serve as a time of reflection for our community a moment to confront the growing presence of violence and aggression, including within academic environments, and to renew our commitment to fostering a culture of mutual respect, openness, and care for one another.
We stand in grief and solidarity with the victim’s loved ones and the entire University of Warsaw Community.
