59th Dornbirn-GFC 2020 has been canceled

The organizers of DORNBIRN-GFC have announced that unfortunately the Dornbirn-GFC 2020 has to be cancelled. They stated this decision was very difficult for them and they regret it very much. Due to the impact of COVID-19 there will be no possibility to conduct the congress in its usual form this year. The travel restrictions and the extraordinary economic situation complicate the planning of events. The health aspect and the safety of our visitors are in the foreground of our decision.

Dornbirn-GFC 2020 – Webinar Week

As an alternative Dornbirn-GFC will offer some lectures and discussions in the form of webinars.

From 16 - 18 September 2020 with a focus on the following topics:
