The President's Letter

christo2022 01 Dear Colleagues and Friends

The summer is almost over for most of us, although some people feel that the most pleasant part of it is late August-beginning of September.

This summer has not been particularly pleasant. We have had a lot of natural and human-made disasters in Europe: catastrophic wildfires, floods, earthquakes...Our natural surrounding is gradually being destroyed. Is this due to climate change? Is it due to human indifference? Is it due to human malevolence? Is it due to the punishment of humanity by the super-God Zeus sent to us by thunder from Olympus mountain?

WARS are continuing! It is indeed surprising that, in spite of the development of the neo-cortex in humans and the miraculous achievements of humanity, yet we are unable to resolve conflicts peacefully and continue behaving in primitive ways based on aggression and power rather than empathy and justice....

EAPE's Position Statement
On Preservation of Peace by Emeriti Professors

War has a catastrophic influence on humanity. It steals life, health and hope. It destroys economy, nutrition and ecosystems. But, its effects on infrastructure and economies cannot be compared to human suffering.
On an individual basis it produces short term and long term psychological trauma like Ρost-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) depression and anxiety. In children it produces emotional dysregulation, disruption of attachment as well as cognitive and behavioral problems. Additionally, parental trauma can influence offspring stress.

On a social level it destroys societies from within, produces displacement and forced migration that creates a multitude of problems to victims but also to host countries, causes disruption of social fabric and inter-group violence... CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE STATEMENT
