With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to Univ. Prof. Dr. Volker Höck, the founder of our CEEPUS network. We will never forget his enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring that our network achieved the best possible results, despite his illness taking its toll and making each trip to the annual meetings in Budapest a great effort for him.
We will remember Prof. Höck not only as a scientist and professor but also as a true gentleman with wonderful manners and character, as a friend, and as a person of gentle nature.
May he be eternally honored and find peace somewhere in the vast realms of extraterrestrial geology.
Prof. Volker Höck (20.06.1943 Innsbruck – 16.03.2025 Salzburg)
