Budapest was supposed to host ESCAN2020, which later became ESCAN2021. The current situation requires us to adapt further: while vaccination has started, planning a travel may still not possible and socializing may not be safe for all of us.
To allow equal access and stress-free participation for everybody we are happy to announce that ESCAN2021 goes virtual. Having seen the symposia proposals and the poster/free presentation abstracts flowing in we are very excited about the excellent content we'll have.
We invite you from all around the world to join this unique event. Let's make the best out of the opportunities this year offers – see you at ESCAN2021!
Don't forget to subscribe to our mailing list so that we can keep you posted!
