On the occasion of Lutz Jäncke’s lecture, Giusep Nay, President of the Board of Trustees of the Brain and Trauma Foundation Graubünden/Switzerland, was bid farewell with great gratitude. Giusep Nay took over the presidency in 2005/2006 and played a key role in establishing the foundation. His commitment to a wide variety of projects was always exemplary, and he always knew where doors would open for the further development of the foundation. He was a guarantor of quality. His good leadership style gave researchers and all other employees the freedom they needed to achieve great things. We thank him for his tremendous support.
