It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Claude Legrand. A professor and researcher at the University of Poitiers, Claude was involved with MEMOS for many years as a tutor and head of MEMOS projects in French until 2020. He was deeply committed to the program and contributed greatly to its success. A former MEMOS student himself (MEMOS III in 2000), he left a lasting mark on our community through his constant commitment and involvement. He inspired MEMOS students, and his memory will remain associated with the advances and successes he helped shape over time. In these sad times, we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones and assure them of our sympathy.
