Dear congress participant, dear friends 

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic still remains a global health challenge and future developments are at this stage unpredictable, the EMSOS Board has decided to further postpone the EMSOS congress to May 12-14, 2021 at the same venue in Graz, Austria. London will move to 2022.
Additionally we are going to re-open the abstract submission portal, taken special regard to new research findings. Accepted abstracts will remain their status – but applicants will be able to make adaption of their submitted abstracts as well. 

We are thankful for your trust and support and we are looking forward to welcome you to EMSOS in May 2021.

Yours sincerely,
The Organizing Committee
