We are deeply saddened to inform you of the passing away of our colleague and friend Anne Chayet, struck down by a heart attack during the night of the 4th to the 5th of May 2015. Her disappearance, totally unexpected, shatters all those who had the chance to work closely with her.
Renowned historian of Tibet, especially its art and society, wielding both Tibetan and Chinese sources, Anne Chayet largely contributed to the broad reach of Tibetology.
Longtime Director of the Research Team on the history and society of the Tibetan cultural areas at the CNRS, Director of the Institute of Tibetan Studies of the College de France until recently, a member of the National Committee of the CNRS, Anne Chayet has played a leading role in the development of Asian Studies. Associate Director of the UMR 8155 created in 2006, she devoted herself tirelessly to ensure the success of the scientific projects of our team.
To one degree or another, many researchers have benefited from her judicious guidance, from her involvement in the life of our laboratory, and from the help she brought to all with great generosity, without sparing time and asking nothing in return. In her commitment to research, Anne was a woman of ideas and passion, while remaining very modest. May her example remain alive in our memories.
Her funerals were held yesterday morning (Tuesday 13th, May 2015) in the strictest privacy according to her wish. Homage will soon be paid to her in several scientific journals.
