Corona-induced pause
Dear NSBM members and enthusiasts,
Due to the Corona pandemic last years’ meetings did not take place and given the resumed flaring of the virus we felt that having a Fall meeting in 2021 would be too risky to organize on site. Given that the true advantage of our meetings is the person-to-person contact and the opportunities that are there not only during lectures but also during poster sessions and lunch- and coffee brakes, we believe that the organization of an online meeting would by far not be able to replace the on-site meeting. Therefore, our hope is that in the spring of 2022 we can organize a next NSBM meeting.
We hope all of you remain in good health and we will see you again at the next NSBM meeting!
Fall meeting 2019: Cancelled
The 2019 Fall meeting of NSBM has been cancelled, due to unforeseen circumstances. Hope to see you at our next meeting in 2020!
