Dear Members of ERSA, dear Colleagues,
We are happy to report that our Call for Abstracts and Papers for the ERSA2021 Congress resulted in an acknowledged success: 839 submissions received from 54 countries around the world! Preparations for the Congress are ongoing, the review process is about to start, a very attractive line-up of keynote speakers is currently being confirmed. As for the format of the event, live or digital, the decision will be taken by mid-May at the latest. One thing is sure, it will be another very rich and attractive programme.
Submitters will be personally informed of the decision and we post it on the Congress website as well.
With best wishes,
