2021 ISSFAL scheduled in Nantes (France)
- Details
- Published on 14 September 2020
Due to CoVid-19, the 2020 ISSFAL Congress initially planned in Qingdao, China, was rescheduled in the beautiful French city of Nantes, France in 4 -7 July 2021.
At the moment, the intention is for the meeting to follow the traditional live, in-person format as far as possible although with an increased virtual/online delivery to accommodate those who may be unable to travel.
Planning of the scientific and social schedule is now well underway for what will, as ever, be an exciting and up-to-date programme highlighting the leading science in lipids field. The majority of the Plenary presentations by world leading authorities in their subject areas are now confirmed and ISSFAL has also confirmed the popular Satellite Symposia on the day before the Congress officially starts.
For your information, the draft schedule at-a-glance is linked here. This is still of course subject to change but gives a good indication of what the Congress programme will comprise.
Further details regarding abstract submission, the registration process, and travel awards will follow in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, ISSFAL looks forward to welcoming you to Nantes next year for the 14th ISSFAL International Congress!
