In Memoriam: Yves Cabannes

The RUAF CIC and the RUAF Board wish to extend our deepest condolences for the passing of Yves Cabannes, our longtime collaborator and former member of the RUAF Board.

Yves was part of the beginning of RUAF, and has been a supporter, colleague, board member and friend since then. His ideas, suggestions and continued support and guidance on various topics inspired and supported our work, in the past 25 years, up until recent discussion and joint work.

Yves will always be in our memory and work, and his loss will be felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him and learning from him.

Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. May they find peace, comfort, and strength in the days ahead.
