IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ABSTRACTS SUBMITTERS

Due to the continuing uncertainties and travel restrictions related to COVID-19, the EUROGIN Scientific Committee has decided that abstract presenters will be allowed to give their talks virtually without having a travel (same flexibility for posters).

Authors of accepted abstracts for oral presentations will be assisted with their video recordings.

Considering these new rules, the abstract submission deadline has been extended to Feb. 26!
