Standing against anti-Semitism and all forms of hate
We strongly condemn the inhumane terrorist attacks and their despicable acts against Israel in the strongest possible terms.
Furthermore, we strongly oppose to any form of anti-Semitism and all forms of hate and violence against innocent civilians. The rise in anti-Semitic incidents, which we are currently witnessing in many countries, is unacceptable and should never be excused or tolerated.
There is no place for hate or racism at MITP.

Statement on Ukraine
Our thoughts and hearts are with all those directly or indirectly affected by the tragic events in Ukraine. We at MITP condemn the aggression, which cannot be justified in any way, and we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine as well as with the Russian citizens protesting against the invasion. MITP’s mission has been and remains to provide opportunities for exchange between researchers from different fields of expertise in theoretical physics, irrespective of their nationality. We firmly believe that basic science can have a strong peacemaking effect especially in difficult political times. This war is against all our beliefs and we stand in support of those who are calling for an end to the invasion. We expect that all scientists participating in MITP events share the same convictions and values.
In response to the ongoing crisis, MITP offers long-term visitor positions to Ukrainian refugees holding a PhD in theoretical particle, hadron, or nuclear physics. In addition, the Cluster of Excellence PRISMA++ offers fellowships to students in these fields.
