The General Assembly of the Members and the Management Board of the Extreme Light Infrastructure Delivery Consortium International Association have the profound sadness to announce the premature, sudden death of their colleague and friend, Prof. Wolfgang Sandner, Director General of ELI-DC, on December 5th, 2015, at the age of 66. This is a considerable loss for ELI as a whole, but also for European science and science policy in general. We would like to express our deep sympathy to his wife, children, relatives, and close collaborators.
In this sad moment, we all are now more determined than ever to create the necessary conditions for ELI to succeed in the European constellation of research infrastructures, thus transforming Wolfgang’s dream into reality.
