Trinity condemns invasion of Ukraine
Posted on: 27 February 2022
Trinity College Dublin condemns the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people at this most difficult time. A peaceful resolution to the conflict is needed.
The university is currently offering support to students, staff and other members of the Trinity community impacted by the crisis. A team, led by Vice President for Global Engagement, Emma Stokes, has met with Trinity students affected by the conflict and will continue to provide help in the days ahead.
As a European university with many ties to sister universities, as a University of Sanctuary and an active member of the Scholars at Risk network, Trinity is exploring ways of providing further practical assistance.
Ní neart go cur le chéile. Trinity stands with Ukraine.
