Information regarding the current status of the Covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to leave us in uncertainty. Of course we comply with all the governmental regulations and official measures. At the same time, we hope that the Congress can take place here at the University of Osnabrück in a regular attendance mode in August 2021. However, we are already planning a combination of such an attendance format in presence with digital formats. Nevertheless, we also have to stress that it might be possible that the congress takes place only in digital form. Further information on this topic will be available on this website as soon as possible!

When you register for the Congress on this website you can select whether you want to participate in presence in Osnabrück or in a digital way.
