Important - 12th ENBDC Annual Meeting postponed to April 22-24 2021

Dear all,
 
First of all, we would sincerely like to thank all speakers, chairs and attendees for agreeing to participate in the ENBDC meeting 2020. 

Based on the current guidelines of the University of Basel concerning the local conferences, we decided to reschedule the ENBDC meeting, to April 22-24, 2021. The development of the Covid-19 situation is unpredictable and we have come to the conclusion that a rescheduling is the best we can do for all the attendees and our environment.

We hope all participants can attend the meeting on April 22-24, 2021. Please note that we will transfer all registrations. If you are not able to attend the meeting in September, please inform us as soon as possible (contact xiomara.banholzer at unibas.ch). In this case, we encourage you to ask another lab member to take your spot instead of canceling your attendance.

In the meantime registrations have been re-opened, in order to allow people who might be able to join in September to join us. Please use the "Register here" button below to do so.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in April 2021.
