The University of Montpellier wishes to express its sympathy and solidarity with the victims of the deadly attacks that took place overnight from Friday to Saturday in Paris and Saint-Denis, as well as with their loved ones.
In the face of the senseless violence that erupted this weekend, we must remain composed, calm, and dignified during these days of national mourning. While feelings of fear, pain, and dread may overwhelm us today, it is important that our university community rally around its core values of knowledge, learning, thought, and democracy.
In these dark times, we must continue to defend the universal values of liberty, equality, and fraternity—values that form the foundation of our Republic and that hold particularly deep significance.

The university stands in solidarity with the families mourning the loss of their loved ones due to this unspeakable act.
