Being the founding rector of GUtech and the director of the German Research Centre Mohenjo Daro, as well as a member of ICOMOS, he laid the foundation stone for the Research Centre Indian Ocean.
Professor Michael Jansen was a rigorous scholar, associated with the Indian Ocean inter region for more than 50 years, an inspiring teacher for numerous students all over the world and a charismatic leader. He was a man of vision and as such he will always be remembered.
