62. Cracow School of Theoretical Physics
15. MCnet School
Monte Carlo Methods in High Energy Physics



To protest the criminal atrocities in the aggressive and unjustified war initiated by Russia against Ukraine, on March 1, 2022 Poland suspended scientific collaboration with the Russian Federation. Following the decision of the Rector of the Jagiellonian University, which suspends cooperation with Russian universities and research centers, the organizers of the Cracow School of Theoretical Physics together with the MCNet decided not to accept participants with affiliation to institutions from the Russian Federation.
We also would like to express our support to the members of the Russian scientific community who reject this invasion.
