Our academic DNA is shaped by the motto "Veritas et Libertas" – Truth and Freedom. This guides our actions – both in scholarship and in our relationships. It is complemented by the values that define who we are as a community:

Courage - We are not afraid to ask questions, seek, change and go against the grain when the pursuit of truth, support for others, and building community require it.

Curiosity - We want to understand the world and people – in all their complexity and diversity.

Commitment - we believe that science is born from reliability and responsibility. Collaborative work, perseverance and mindfulness are the foundations of our actions.

Cooperation - We create a space where we don't have to think alike to work together. We learn from one another through dialogue and acceptance.

Respect - We are convinced that each person contributes to the community. Diversity strengthens us, and openness creates a foundation for creative debate and our growth.
