Freund der Akademien, Staatssekretär für Bildung und Forschung, Visionär: Charles Kleiber hatte die Stiftung Science et Cité ins Leben gerufen, das jüngste Mitglied in unserem Akademienverbund. Die Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz verdanken diesem Mann von Überzeugung und Offenheit viel. Er scheute nie die Öffentlichkeit, wenn es darum ging, mit seinen Ideen zu überzeugen. Charles Kleiber ist am 14. Januar 2025 im Alter von 82 Jahren verstorben.
