ESFRI offers condolences over the loss of Marc De Jonge, Chair of SWG on Environment

 

ESFRI, on behalf of its Chair Jan Hrusak, expressed deepest condolences over the loss of Marc R. de Jonge, Chair of the Strategy Working Group on Environment.

 

Marc was not only a valuable member of the Forum and played a crucial role in the development of European RI policies, but also for many ESFRI delegates, has been a good friend and a warm, gentle and very knowledgeable person.

 

His unquestionable knowledge especially in the environment field greatly contributed to the success of ESFRI in this domain. Marc was always available to support the community and very dedicated as Member of the Strategic Working Group for Environment, of which he recently became Chair. His passing away is a great loss for ESFRI and for the entire RI community.
