A statement from the British Academy of Management on the Russian invasion of Ukraine

In the British Academy of Management we are appalled and dismayed by the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia, in a clear violation of international law. With our friends at the British Academy and many sister learned societies around the world, we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and its community of students and researchers who are experiencing this attack on their human rights, democracy and freedom.

We too send our support and friendship at this time to all those Ukrainian students, academics and university staff for whom the safety to learn, teach and research is no longer guaranteed. We will continue to stand up for academic freedom and acknowledge the courage that many Russian researchers are showing in speaking out against this invasion.
