In memory of Prof. Dr. Nanne de Vries
December 20, 2024

Today we unfortunately had to say farewell to Prof. Dr. Nanne de Vries, the esteemed chairman of our euPrevent board. Nanne joined the euPrevent board in 2018 and took the role as chairman in 2020. Until the last day, he was a dedicated, inspiring and committed person.

Nanne played a key role in many initiatives. Among his achievements, he initiated the vision to position euPrevent, in collaboration with Maastricht University, as a WHO Collaborating Centre for cross-border public health. He also supported Brigitte van der Zanden’s PhD candidacy on this topic with great commitment. These are just a few examples of his legacy.

His vision, leadership and commitment have left a lasting impression. To euPrevent community, Nanne will always remain a memorable and valued person.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. We extend our deepest sympathies and wish them much strength.
