Spring School
Based on the current health situation in Austria and the subsequent travel situation from countries visiting Austria, EAN has decided to organise this years’ Spring School in September.
We have talked with all invited participants and speakers, we have monitored the restrictions from other countries regarding visit to Austria. We can assure all those, who can actively participate, that EAN will take all measure to ensure a setting that allows you to learn in a safe way by keeping distances in the session rooms and dining facilities, and those location where meetings will take part.
Furthermore, we will monitor the situation daily and should there be any reason to cancel this School, EAN will adhere to given measurements and inform all involved parties.
