Due to the continued spread of covid-19, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 BLCS meeting, due to be held 6-8th April in Aberdeen.<\/p>\n
Seeing that many universities across the Europe and the US have closed\/switched to online classes, coupled with an increasing number of UK universities – including the University of Aberdeen –\u00a0advising against (inter)national travel, we think we would see our numbers suffer\/not get the best of the conference and, more importantly, we don\u2019t want to risk our delegates, especially our international visitors.<\/p>\n
We would like to emphasise that this is at this time a postponement rather than a cancellation \u2013 we will see how the covid-19 situation progresses over the summer months, and in the best case scenario, we would propose holding the meeting in early September instead. Of course, this is dependent on the global situation improving.<\/p>\n
