The IMAGES Project will be closed very soon. All activities and goals have been successfully achieved.

So this will be probably one of the last Posts on this blog.

In 2010 Serhan Oksay and I developed the IMAGES Project and directed it together till September 2013.

In all this time Serhan Oksay was a reliable partner for me, and work on our project has made as even better and closer friends in life.

In mid August 2015, just 2 weks before the IMAGES V conference was to take place in Istanbul, he died there, of cancer, at age 52.

I deeply feel the loss!
