The leading technical universities of the Baltics and the Czech Republic, in solidarity with Ukraine and underlining their commitment to fundamental human values and international law, are withdrawing from the Conference of European Scools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research (CESAER), because, after lengthy discussions, it has not, in the context of war in Europe, excluded from its membership the university of the aggressor Russia - Tomsk Polytechnic University, which openly supports the Russian war in Ukraine. Nor has the CESAER Board of Directors voted to make it clear that this Russian university has no place in the organisation.
