Bert Fragner chaired the Avicenna Public Foundation’s board of trustees between 2005 and 2008. His assistance in this capacity was invaluable to our Institute. This November, the Austrian Academy of Sciences celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday. Professor Jeremiás Éva’s speech on the occassion can be read here (in German).

The programme of the event can be read on the website of the Iranian Institue of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, under this link.
