With great sadness, we share with you that Franz Dotter, supervisor of our current FWF-project on nonmanuals, former head and founder of the Centre for Sign Language and Deaf Communication (ZGH) at the Alpen-Adria-University of Klagenfurt, passed away on March 2018 after a tragic accident.
He was a pioneer and brilliant contributor to the field of Austrian sign language linguistics and Deaf rights, but more than that a great mentor and colleague to us.
We miss him and his commitment!
