It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of Dr. Andreas Fijal.

As Dean for Academic Affairs at the Law Department, Dr. Fijal was a crucial figure for and fierce supporter of the MBL-FU program. He was instrumental in shaping the MBL-FU in its formative years by initiating a dual-degree program through a cooperation agreement with Sciences Po de Strasbourg. Dr. Fijal continued to be a vocal supporter of the program, helping to continuously advise and shape the program. We fondly remember his vivid speeches at numerous MBL-FU events and cherish the inspirational conversations that we, and many of our students were fortunate to have had with him.

Dr. Fijal will be dearly missed by the MBL-FU team and community. We are grateful for his continuous support and commitment for our program and will honor his memory
