In memory of Hans Houtman

– Published 5 September 2014

It is with deep personal regret that we today inform all visitors at this page of Hans Houtman's death. Hans died after a short time of illness. In the Master Programme of Human Factors and System Safety we remember Hans as a great mentor, student but mostly as a fantastic friend. Hans' positive attitude, friendliness, humour and dedication to our students will always inspire us in our work.

Our grief and confusion is little compared to what Hans' family is feeling. Our thoughts go to them.

Prior to his death, Hans founded the Second Victim Foundation and we will inform you later how to honour the memory of Hans by contributing to the foundation.

The funeral will be held on Tuesday 9th September in Amsterdam.
