JULIUS WESS — A SCIENTIST IN GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY

Over several years the author co-operated closely with Julius Wess at the University of Munich in supporting re-establishing scientific links between physicists of the countries of South-East Europe and between these and the rest of the world. Major achievements have been the SinYu project leading to high-speed internet at the Serbian universities as well as re-establishing two series of conferences and summer schools. This is the first time, that the short history of the "WIGV initiative" has been written up.
