ESRS 2020 goes fully virtual!

Dear colleagues and friends,

Due to the lasting impacts of the global Covid-19 pandemic and with it all the different restrictions, the ESRS board has decided to go fully virtual with this year’s ESRS congress and ESRS Examination in Sleep Medicine edition. This decision was reluctantly taken as the social distancing restrictions likely to be still in place during September would make aspects of the scientific programme in Seville such as poster sessions unviable. Also, the ability to socialize and network with friends and colleagues would be very compromised in this setting.

The scientific programme of the virtual ESRS congress will be adapted slightly in order to fulfill the needs of a virtual audience. The new structure will be updated on the website as soon as possible.

The scientific programme will be accompanied by a virtual poster exhibition as well as industrial exhibition, showcasing the latest advances in the field of sleep medicine.
For the virtual edition of this year’s ESRS congress, the registration fees as well as registration deadlines have been adapted accordingly and represent a 50% reduction on the previous rate for the physical congress. You can find the adapted prices for the virtual congress registration here.

The virtual congress will be held on September 22- 24, the ESRS Examination in Sleep Medicine on-line edition will be conducted on September 25.

Register here to attend the virtual congress and profit from the Early Bird Fee Registration Deadline until 14 August 2020.
Abstract submission was closed on 15 June 2020, 23:59 CEST. Notification letters will be sent out by end of July 2020.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to this year’s special virtual edition!

Walter McNicholas
ESRS President
