It is with very grave concern that we in Utrecht have learned about the plans to abolish the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Budapest University. We know the Department as one of the most important centers in the discipline in the world. Miklos Redei is currently chairman of The European Science Foundation Network for Philosophical and Foundational problems of Modern Physics, and the Budapest Department is one of the nodes in an envisaged European Union Marie Curie Research Training Network: These are just two examples of the many that could be cited to illustrate the important role played by the Department and its members, both in Europe and in the world at large.
Our Utrecht department has especially close ties with Miklos Redei and Laszlo Szabo---we know them both as leading scholars in the field.
We appeal to you to reconsider the situation, and to revoke any adverse decisions that may have been taken.

I write as President of the British Society for the Philosophy of Science to tell you, on behalf of our membership, how relieved and happy we are that your department has been enabled to survive the recent crisis.
I do not need to tell you that your department is a most highly respected department of international standing, and that everybody in the field has accordingly been extremely concerned to hear that its closure was contemplated. Now their sense will be one of enormous relief. You will certainly be receiving messages of congratulations from every university in the world where the history and philosophy of science is studied; I would like to add ours to them.
