Not the least from Russia and from Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Our core values at KTH are based on democracy, the equal value of human beings, human rights and freedom and free and open discussion. Our activities are based on the conviction that education and research can, and should, contribute to improved living conditions and to the development of society which fulfills requirements regarding ecological, social and economic sustainability. As a university of technology, KTH has a particular responsibility for developing and sharing knowledge that is required in order to promote such sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>In my role as a member of our university, I know that I can contribute to this long-term development, towards a sustainable future. But I find it difficult to see how I can contribute here and now in the current situation. \u00a0I do feel that we, as a community, need to support those among us that needs support. It is impossible to put ourselves in the situation of Ukrainian colleagues, being in Sweden and having family, relatives and friends back in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>We need to respect each other, regardless of where we are from. We have members at ITM from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine as well as from other parts of the world. Just a reminder: every individual deserves respect even in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>\/Martin Edin Grimheden, <em>\u00a0<\/em>Gender equality, diversity and equal treatment manager at the ITM School and Head of the Department of Machine Design<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In English further down.
