Jochem "Joki" Schindler (8 November 1944 – 24 December 1994) was an Austrian Indo-Europeanist. In spite of his comparatively thin bibliography, he made important contributions, in particular to the theory of Proto-Indo-European nominal inflection and ablaut. He taught at University of Vienna from 1972 to 1978, as a professor at Harvard University from 1978 to 1987, then at Vienna.https://Who Was Who whowaswho-indology.info/9932/schindler-jochem/ A meticulous scholar, he also recognized that mistakes were inevitable, and his phrase "courage to err" () became popular with his colleagues, including Calvert Watkins. With Watkins and others, he was a founding member of the East Coast Indo-European Conference in 1982."Calvert Watkins dies at 80". Harvard Gazette. 2013-03-28.
