( </span><a href="https://cops.ifp.uni-ulm.de/imrf2022/" class="">https://cops.ifp.uni-ulm.de/imrf2022/</a> )</div><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span class="">We are monitoring the current pandemic situation very closely and as you are aware, predictions into the longer future have been proven to be very difficult. </span>This uncertainty is why we did not update you earlier. Anyway, here is the current status of our planning and thinking: </div><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span><span class="">We are still very determined to host IMRF in the summer of 2022 as an in presence meeting. Whether or not there will be a hybrid addition to IMRF which would allow for also online participation, is not yet determined, as any hybrid format is a huge organisational challenge. </span></div><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span><span class="">To make it easier for you to decide whether or not you can travel to Germany in summer 2022, we have tried to post the deadlines for abstract submission and registration as late as possible. Currently, the abstract submission deadline is set to April 01, the date by which you can also change and adapt your already submitted abstract (and symposium contributions). The review process will start after this date. We strife to keep the already accepted symposia and ask the symposium organisers / attendees to update their information accordingly if individual talks need to be adapted. Please get in contact with us by the submission deadline in case of necessary substitutions, </span></div><div class=""><span class=""> </span><span class=""><br class=""></span><span class=""><span class="">The early registration deadline is set to May 20 giving us a bit more than a month to plan with the number of participants. Given the current pandemic regulations in Germany to not pack rooms as densely as we used to, we may have to limit the number of participants to something around 180 to 200 people. However, as you are aware, the situation and thus rules keep changing. In any case it cannot hurt to register early to secure your space, as limits, if they apply, will be done on a first come first serve basis. </span></span><span class=""><span data-stringify-type="paragraph-break" style="box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: 8px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;" class="c-mrkdwn__br"></span></span><span class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;" class="">Here is a link to the current regulations in the state of Baden Württemberg, which is permanently adapted as the situation changes: </span></span><span class=""><a target="_blank" data-stringify-link="https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/en/service/aktuelle-infos-zu-corona/corona-information-in-other-languages/" delay="150" data-sk="tooltip_parent" href="https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/en/service/aktuelle-infos-zu-corona/corona-information-in-other-languages/" rel="noopener noreferrer" tabindex="-1" data-remove-tab-index="true" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="c-link">https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/en/service/aktuelle-infos-zu-corona/corona-information-in-other-languages/</a></span><span class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;" class=""> </span></span><span class=""><span data-stringify-type="paragraph-break" style="box-sizing: inherit; display: block; height: 8px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;" class="c-mrkdwn__br"></span></span><span class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-decoration-thickness: initial;" class="">We will keep you posted as soon as we have more information.</span></span></div><div class=""><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">Stay safe and healthy - best, </div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">Marc</div><span class=""><div class=""><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(29, 28, 29);" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><font color="#1d1c1d" face="Slack-Lato, appleLogo, sans-serif" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(29, 28, 29); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248);" class=""><br class=""></span></font></div><div class="">
