My dear colleagues,
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial uncertainties, unfortunately, remain on safety and feasibility of many activities and events for several months ahead, both in Europe and worldwide. Travel limitations also will most likely remain substantial in the near future.
As you know, we (as Anesthesiology Reanimation Specialists' Association) have been taken the difficult decision to postpone our physical congress which is planned to organize on 6-10 May 2020 in Tirana, and at the same time, we have decided to put our energy in organizing a Virtual Congress. We would like to thank you, all our colleagues, the Balkan teams who continue to collaborate with ARUD, and to reassure all of you that ARUD is fully committed to creating a virtual event up to the highest standards of science, education and innovation.
We started working again for our congress and this time we will organize it as a virtual congress between the dates of 30 April and 02 May in 2021. We are compiling our new program based on the program prepared last year by including Covid issues. In the meeting, which will be attended by valuable scientists from Balkan and European countries, we will share scientific knowledge and experiences and also strengthen our social relations.
Dear colleagues, we look forward to meeting you all in this Spring!
With respect and love.
Prof Feyhan ÖKTEN, MD
President of Anesthesiology and Reanimation Specialists Society (ARUD)
