The Board of management and staff of OMNI are deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death of Max Chorus from Streff in Luxembourg, aged just 65 years old. Streff is one of the founding members of OMNI and Max has been a longtime friend of the network. He was always a lively participant at OMNI conferences, guaranteed to voice strong opinions in his assertive yet gentle, respectful and often amusing way. The Board sends sincere condolences to Max’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.
