Dear Friends and Colleagues, On March 15, 2020, Professor Andreas Weber died at the age of 55. Organizing a ceremony appropriately acknowledging Andreas' commitment within the scientific community as well as at the University of Bonn, was impeded due to COVID-19 restrictions. On the occasion of the second anniversary of his death, we are organizing a memorial ceremony which will take place using a hybrid format. On March 15, 2022, 4:15pm - 5:45pm German time we will come together in Bonn in compliance with COVID-19-regulations, and you will also have the opportunity to participate remotely.
