Carl Fredrik Christoffer Schander - malacologist, marine biologist, Professor of marine biodiversity and most recently director of the University Museum of Bergen (Norway), - passed away unexpectedly on February 21, 2012, after a short period of illness at only 51 years old. He was an extremely productive scientist, authoring more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific publications, an enthusiastic biologist with a creative and inspiring mind, and a highly valued colleague and supervisor.

To honor Christoffer's memory, a fund has been established at the University of Bergen, Norway, to support international cooperation in marine biodiversity research. Funding for travel and accommodation will be provided to visiting taxonomists and systematists for short-time projects within the field of marine biodiversity research.
