Sad news...

It is with great sadness that we wish to inform you of the passing of Éric ROUBIN, head of IT Systems and Resources at the IECB, who passed away on September 1, 2026.

Éric was, above all, a person of great kindness and rare generosity. Always committed, attentive to others, and deeply supportive, he was someone we could always rely on, whatever the circumstances. He was always willing to help and did so with remarkable responsiveness and a genuine determination to find a solution. He never hesitated to search, think things through, and explore alternative possibilities in order to help and ensure that things could move forward. This generosity, commitment, and strong sense of service, always accompanied by his kindness and consideration for others, deeply touched all those who had the privilege of working alongside him. It is also because of these qualities that his absence will leave a great void within our institute.

Inserm also paid him a very moving tribute in its weekly newsletter Inserm Pro:https://pro.inserm.fr/hommage-a-eric-roubin

We extend our deepest thoughts and sincere support to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Éric will be greatly missed.

The Management and all the members of the IECB
