Due to the disruption of our lecture series since late 2019 and the resulting cancellation of most of the scheduled events, we have been able to hold only two talks this year. In the absence of effective measures to protect our speakers and audiences, we began to implement these cuts even before the official declaration of confinement was made on 16 March. For the same reasons, the meeting of the Board of Directors and the Annual General Meeting have also been postponed until further notice.

All our activities will be suspended until the beginning of the new academic year, when, as far as it is possible to tell at the moment, we should be able to resume our programme of events according to official guidelines. The programme for 2020-2021, which is currently being prepared, will of course include lectures that have been casualties of the pandemic this year. We very much look forward to seeing you all again in our auditorium, where our team will happy to welcome existing members as well as anyone who is interested in the topics of our talks. We extend our warmest greetings to you with the now-consecrated formula €“Take good care of yourselves and your loved ones.”
