We are all shocked what is happening right now in Europe! We stand side by side with our Ukrainian friends! The threat to freedom concerns whole Europe!

Evaluation is the result of democratic structures and stands for freedom of speech, transparency, and truth. Let’s do everything possible to support our Ukrainian fellows and our governments to stop the war!

Please see the official appeal of the Ukrainian Evaluation Association and the Statement of the European Evaluation Society here: https://www.ukreval.org/news
