Cancellation of the 43rd ECFS Conference in Lyon


We have very carefully monitored the rapidly evolving situation with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and very sadly, but convinced that this is the right decision, we announce that it is not possible to hold the ECFS Conference in Lyon, 3-6 June 2020. 
This hard decision has been made in the interest of the health, safety and well-being of all involved. Moreover, the French authorities have announced on April 13th that events of that size will still be banned in France in June. 

Delegates will be contacted over the next few weeks regarding their registration.


Isabelle Fajac, ECFS President on behalf of the ECFS Board
