In this darkest hour, Hera supports Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
By Alison MacDermott
Posted: 4 March, 2022
HERA, as the European Network of 26 funding agencies over 25 partner countries, has always supported the solidarity, cooperation and mutual understating of cultural diversity in Europe. Through its funded projects in the humanities, HERA cares for common European values, such as freedom, democracy, equality and justice. Therefore, HERA wants to express its shock and dismay at the outbreak of a brutal war in Europe and condemn Russia’s military aggression against independent Ukraine. HERA stands in solidarity with the citizens of Ukraine who are showing exceptional dignity, courage and resilience in their struggle to preserve the sovereignty and integrity of their state.
