2020 – a special year
In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to hold this year’s Bernstein Conference entirely online for the first time, keeping scientific exchange alive and fruitful.
Going online is not only an emergency reaction to the current pandemic, but also a chance to seek new possibilities in order to keep scientific meetings climate-friendly and allow unrestricted participance from scientists who are challenged by traveling.
We have adjusted schedules and formats to allow participance from around the world while fostering the interaction, scientific debate and excellence that we all appreciate at our Bernstein Conference. We are excited to exploring this new format together with our community.
We will inform you regularly about updates here on our website and via Twitter: #BernsteinConference. Please let us know your questions and comments: bernstein.conference@fz-juelich.de
