EURAPAG 2021

Faced with the global Covid-19 pan-epidemic and the need to safeguard the health of our presenters, attendees and sponsors along with the travel restrictions imposed on us all, it is with great regret that the EURAPAG 2020 local organizing committee and the EURAPAG Board have decided to postpone the 15th EURAPAG Congress, including the 2nd Pan-European Trainees’ Congress, to Spring 2021, when we plan a bigger celebration of PAG and a return to normality.

In the past few days, we have been working hard towards re-organizing our events. We are glad to confirm the new dates of the congress and the 2nd Pan European Trainees’ Congress, that now will be held from Wednesday 9 – Saturday 12 June 2021. The venue of the meeting, the Hilton Hotel in Rotterdam, will remain unaltered.

We have set up a FAQ-document that includes the most important and relevant questions for this moment (what about registration fee, hotel reservations, abstract submissions, etc.). Should you like the FIGIJ-website to refer to this webpage, then kindly use the following link: https://www.eurapag2021.eu/covid-19-faq

Please be assured that your current registration and payment or payment obligation (if applicable) to the event will be transferred to next year’s edition automatically. Should any questions or concerns regarding this information remain, please do not hesitate to contact the congress secretariat by e-mail, [email protected].

Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support to the congress.

We wish you all remain in good health and look forward to seeing you next year in Rotterdam.
