2020 Annual SRNT-E Conference

15th - 17th Sep 2020

2020 SRNT-E conference

The SRNT-E board has held an online conference on 17-18th Sept 2020.

We are very grateful to Dr Sharon Cox that she took on the role of Chair of the Scientific and Organising Committee for this online event. 2020's conference was supposed to take place in Lausanne and we are extremely grateful to the Lausanne team for all the work they put into the 2020 conference.

2021 SRNT-E conference

We had really hoped to organise the 2021 meeting in Lausanne, but unfortunately it seems that the COVID-19 situation will not allow for a meeting in person with an international audience. The exact format of the meeting will be communicated in the coming weeks. We will also announce the due dates for abstract submission.

We are very pleased and thankful that the Lausanne team, led by our SRNT-E President Dr Carole Clair, is still working hard to organise a conference in September.
