COVID-19
Even though the pandemic situation is still ongoing, we are hopeful that the conference can take place with physical presence of all participants. We will at any time follow the COVID-19-related regulations applying for the conduction of the conference to provide a safe and comfortable event with most valuable technical and scientific exchange for all participants. However, in case that stronger restrictions apply, we may transform the conference into a hybrid or even fully virtual event.
All participants will be informed about COVID-19 related safety measures, test requirements etc. as soon as the applicable requirements are known or foreseeable.
