Jürgen Basedow, our long-time director, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Thursday. He was director at the Institute from 1997 to 2017 and remained present at the Institute after his retirement.
We are dismayed and speechless. Our thoughts are with his wife and family.
A detailed obituary will follow in the next days.
