XV EUROPT(R)ODE 2021

postponed from 2020

Dear Participants,

COVID-19 influenced the whole world, our lives, our jobs, our health. Our colleagues who worked on various types of vaccines did a huge and wonderful job. Currently, the vaccination process makes that the pandemic activity appears to be decreasing. There is a light in a tunnel which gives us hope that our optical conference can be resumed. We have decided to set the date of the EUROPT(R)ODE 2020 conference to 28 November – 1 December 2021. The conference will be organised according to all safety regulations which will apply in this term. Our goal is to run it in person, however an on-line option will also be available. Our priority is the health and safety of the participants.

Some important facts:

1. your abstract is saved in the registration system, there is no need to resubmit it. There is still a possibility to submit a new abstract if you wish to present new scientific results of your work. Please log into your participant’s account choosing abstract submission tab.
2. your hotel reservation and the registration fee is transferred to the new date.
3. the conference fee for students will NOT be increased, even if you are not a student in the date of conference

In case of any questions, do not hesitate to contact the conference secretariat or me. We will do our best to serve you with all specific problems.

All accommodation bookings will simply be transferred to this date for the number of days booked at the conference date at Arche Krakowska Hotel (conference venue).

I hope all of you will be able to participate in the conference.

Best regards,
Artur Dybko
Conference Chair
