COVID-19 UPDATE – VIRTUAL EADO CONGRESS
June 22nd 2020

Dear participants of the EADO Congress,

Due to the Coronavirus crisis the scientific committee, congress presidents and the congress organization decided to organize the 16th EADO Congress as an interactive virtual meeting on October 12th – 14th 2020 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME (CET).

Although Lithuania is managing COVID-19 situation quite well, there is a level on uncertainty in Europe with the travel situation. Even thereafter it is unclear that meetings like this can happen in Europe.

The virtual EADO Congress will host an own congress platform with interactive features, a plenary hall, a virtual industrial exhibition, poster exhibition, etc. The sessions will take place live, with virtual presence of the chairperson and the speakers, questions are possible through a chat function. The EADO Executive board will be available onsite in order to support symposiums and facilitate effective discussions.

As a registered participant you will have access to the on-demand service. You will have the opportunity to discuss live with the chairs and faculty members, or you can follow the sessions and view the presentations afterwards until the end of the year.

You will be receiving further communication from Congress secretariat together with your log-in details to the virtual EADO Congress in the landing page of www.eado2020.com

With your support we will make this meeting at the highest scientific level.

We look forward to welcoming you ONLINE in October 2020

COVID-19 UPDATE – POSTPONEMENT OF THE CONGRESS
March 13th 2020

Dear friends, dear colleagues,

We regret to inform you that the spread of the Covid-19 virus has forced us to move the EADO congress from April 22-25 to 12-14 October 2020, in Vilnius, for reason of force majeure.

In Lithuania all events with more than 100 participants are prohibited with immediate effect. Many colleagues from Germany, Austria, Italy and other countries have informed us that they will not be allowed to travel in the foreseeable future.

Against this background the unavoidable decision was to postpone the congress or to cancel it. We have examined the possibilities of a postponement and have now booked the date of October 12-14. We hope that the situation of the coronavirus infection will have eased by then. We will ask all speakers if they can take this new date.
