History – just for info

As of 2 March 2020 we still planned to hold the NICE 2020 in Germany as planned.

The Heidelberg University, the host of the NICE 2020, requires it its “Information about the Coronavirus — Recommendations for action and behaviour“, that visitors as well as researchers, staff and students from risk areas (German language page) to work from home for 14 days. We therefore need to require, that all participants of NICE, who have been in a risk area since March 1st 2020 do not attend in-person, but via video conference / web-stream.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains the page Coronavirus Disease 2019 Information for Travel. In case that Germany is moved to the Alert Level 2 list (“destinations experiencing sustained community transmission”) the NICE 2020 would be cancelled.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control maintains a COVID19 risk assessment page.

Option: Attendance via Streaming / Video conference

Registered participants will have to option to attend the meeting via Web Streaming and will have the possibility to ask questions in the Q&A parts of the meeting via video conference. It is expected, that a few speakers will give their talk via video conference.
