ADAPTATION DUE TO COVID19 SITUATION

We are aware that lots of conferences are already or will be soon cancelled due to the exceptional situation related to the COVID19. We received less applications and decided to distribute less awards.

We kindly appreciate if you can inform us of conferences cancellation/postponement/change of format by writing at chemistry@scnat.ch .
