Dear IFNE members, friends and colleagues,

Unfortunately, I have to  inform you that our world congress to be held in Singapore this year had to be cancelled. The development of the pandemic, the hygiene regulations in Singapore, travel and immigration restrictions will not allow to organize a successfull and well attended meeting. It is with great sadness to deliver this bad news, but there is no other option. Our world congress is postponed to 2023, as there are already so many meetings planned in 2022. The EB has unanimously voted against a virtual meeting because of the  current inflation of virtual congresses and webinars. We will inform you about the new date as soon as it is fixed.

Although we will not have our congress this year, an extraordinary general assembly has to be held. An invitation will be sent soon.

I wish you and your families to stay safe.
