Dear colleagues and friends,
As the International BMP conference in Dubrovnik this coming October had to be postponed due to the Covid19-restrictions, we (An Zwijsen, Slobodan Vukicevic and Petra Knaus) decided to cover the time from September 2020 to summer 2021 with the 1st Virtual BMP Forum, as an Appetizer for the Dubrovnik Meeting October 2021.
We very much hope to get as many of you on board as possible and even reach those interested in BMP-research which are new to the community and might not have attended the International BMP conferences before. So please feel free to send this invitation to your colleagues.
We will meet every 3 weeks for 2 talks (each 35 min plus 10 min QA) on a related topic, ideally by 2 speakers from different institutions and even more ideally a young and a more senior scientist. This meeting series aims to complement rather than to duplicate the Dubrovnik speakers list.
Registration to the webinar will be opened by September 1st 2020. All information will be available on the International BMP conference homepage and we will try to update this as frequently as possible.
