TTC statement and action against Russian government's invasion of Ukraine
We condemn the military aggression by the Russian government against Ukraine and express our deep dismay at this unacceptable cruel behavior and our grave concerns about its impact. Such tragic events should never happen in the world. Our thoughts go to all the people suffering from the invasion of Ukraine, and to them we extend our deepest sympathy and support in this difficult time. As a peaceful, non-political scientific collaboration we stress the need for this war to end and ask all our TTC colleagues to support the peaceful resolution of the crisis.
While we continue to support the global scientific exchange between SRF technology experts and teams, due to the severity of the situation we are suspending participation of Russian institutes in TTC sponsored events and collaborations, until further notice.
