The WATEF members wish to express their heartfelt condolences to Professor Loet Leydesdorff's family and friends on his passing. He was key to establishing the Asia Triple Helix Society, which transformed into the WATEF. His Korean academic colleagues will never forget his impact on our field. We believe he contributed immensely to the scientific field of scientometrics, now the foundation for big data analytics.
Here's a link to his lecture from his trip to Korea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aznNRGmZggA
