Dear AEPS students from Iran,

I am writing to you to express my personal and institutional closeness during this very difficult time. We are aware of the serious situation currently affecting Iran, including the ongoing digital blackout, and we understand that being unable to contact your families or receive reliable information about their safety can be extremely distressing. I would like you to know that your concerns are seen, acknowledged, and taken seriously. 
While we cannot, of course, change the situation itself, we want to make sure that you do not feel alone while facing it. For this reason, I would like to offer you a meeting (in person or online, if preferred) to talk about how you are doing, to listen to your perspective, and to understand whether there are specific needs or difficulties that AEPS or the University may be able to help with. If you would like to meet, please feel free to contact me (presidente.aeps@unimib.it) and we will arrange a meeting as soon as possible,

Kind regards,

Giulio Costantini
