First, we would like to confirm the new date of the conference which will be 2nd to 4th June 2021. You can definitely mark this in your calendar as the conference will take place in any case, no matter any interdictions on meetings or travels. Therefore, we are currently planning two versions of the conference: First choice would be to welcome you all in person in Switzerland. However, due to the present situation around the world we are also considering an online conference. Obviously, we will keep you informed concerning the decision of the planning committee.
Until then we wish you all the best and stay healthy!
