It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing away of Anna Tramontano. She was a longstanding friend and supporter of WWTF and an outstanding scientist. We express our sincere condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.
Anna was professor at the Sapienza University of Rome and member of the Scientific Council of the ERC.

Using the example of private video sources" . The project was funded within the 2013 Public Spaces inTransition Call, the last call within the Social Sciencs & Humanities (SSH) in Vienna Programme funded by the City of Vienna.
Christoph Eisenegger (1978-2017) passed away unexpectedly during a stay abroad. We highly appreciated him as a person and as a researcher. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.
