We sincerely regret that current circumstances force us to deviate from Lorentz' example: we fully understand and support the standpoint of the Dutch knowledge institutions and thus comply with the resolution:
“No further collective events (scholarly or otherwise) are to be held, with participants from Russian and Belarusian institutions being barred from participation.”
Such a succinctly formulated rule cannot cover all specific cases. Naturally, the Lorentz Center remains open for questions and suggestions about individual situations.
