Dear EUROPHRAS members,

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our dear colleague and friend Gertrud Gréciano after a long illness. We have lost a venerable colleague and good friend.

Gertrud Gréciano was a founding member of the European Society of Phraseology. Her conference "EUROPHRAS 88" in Strasbourg can be regarded as the cradle of our society. With her research and her tireless commitment (especially for young academics), Gertrud Gréciano has decisively influenced not only the phraseology in research and teaching in France, but also the development of our society as an international and multicultural association.

We will cherish her memory.  Our thoughts are with her family at this time.

Kathrin Steyer (President of EUROPHRAS)

And the former presidents Harald Burger, Annelies Häcki Buhofer und Jarmo
