HEAL 2020 - HEaring Across the Lifespan

Congress postponed to 16-18 June 2022

Dear Colleagues,

The HEAL Conference, initially planned for 4-6 June 2020 in Cernobbio (Lake Como, Italy) and then moved to 3-5 June 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, unfortunately has to be postponed again.

The Organizing Committee has considered the situation very carefully and, while there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, has concluded that it is still too early to hold a live meeting in Cernobbio on 3-5 June 2021: travel is still very much restricted and it will take months before our daily lives can go back to normal.

With the health of the global community as a main priority and the planning of participants, speakers, sponsors and collaborators in mind, the Organizing Committee has decided the following:

The live meeting HEAL 2022 is moved to 16-18 June 2022 at our historical venue in Cernobbio.
All abstracts accepted for the 2020 event will remain valid also for the 2022 Heal Conference, unless otherwise indicated by the proposers. Abstract collection for further contributions and/or updates remains open until October 30^th 2021.
Submissions received after the initial deadline will receive the confirmation of acceptance by the new deadline for notification, November 30^th 2021.
Authors wishing to withdraw their abstract are kindly invited to send an email to abstract@meetandwork.com by October 30^th, 2021.
Please note that in order for submitters to be able to access their personal area and update their abstract without assistance, we have changed all abstracts’ status from “accepted” to “sent”.
To update/modify your abstract, access your personal area through the submission link using your credentials: Username: [Submitter surname] - PIN: [the one you received upon abstract submission]

If you feel you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact abstract@meetandwork.com
Trusting in your understanding, we very much look forward to welcoming you all to Cernobbio in 2022.

With kind regards,

Ferdi Grandori (Chair)
