COVID-19: After two years of fully virtual meetings since March 2020 attracting almost 30,000 participants, we are happy to finally see meetings and courses restarting in-person in March 2022. Many of our meetings are hybrid events, but we strongly encourage talks and posters to be presented in-person to maximize feedback and networking.
