Review EHF 2020

In 2020 the life we know has changed in an unforeseen way due to the worldwide crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic. A virtual format of the 2020 congresses was the only possible way to let the scientific exchange happen at all.

As all of us agreed afterwards it was a great success and a dignified substitute. All of a sudden, people from all over the world, who never had the chance to take part in an onsite congress, had the possibility to join the conference. It was a suspenseful new version of the conference, which was reorganised in only 6 weeks with the motto "seperated but nontheless united".
