Statement by the Rectorate of the University of Applied Arts Vienna

14. October 2023
We are horrified by Hamas' atrociuos attack on Israel. We do not tolerate any terror, any form of antisemitism, any relativization of Israel's right to exist. Our utmost sympathy is with the victims of the attack, their relatives, the hostages, and it is with the people who will become victims as a result of the attack.
As the University of Applied Arts Vienna, we are against any dehumanizing ideologies of destruction and their justification attempts. The current situation requires us to take even more a decisive stand firmly against hatred and violence, and to emphasize our responsibility as an institution.
