In order to engage with speakers and fellow attendees from a worldwide community, the conference is scheduled for the following times:
Wednesday, 24 February 2021, 14.00-19.00h (UTC +01:00)
Thursday, 25 February 2021, 14.00-19.15h (UTC +01:00)
(Central European Time/ UTC+01:00; Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rom, Stockholm, Wien)
At the end of the lecture day you will have the possibility to further engage with the speakers during a "Meet the speakers" session. The session will take place in Zoom Meetings, so that you may also use your audio and video. It is not necessary to download the Zoom app, but for the best use we hardly reccommend to do so.
Please note that each meet the speakers session is limited in participant numbers.
