Registration for ESHG 2021 temporarily closed!

We regret to announce that due to severe technical issues with the virtual platform that were brought to our attention only this week, the ESHG Executive Board has been forced to postpone the conference to August 28-31, 2021.

The conference organisation team is working hard on moving the event to a different platform and we will inform all stakeholders of all necessary details in the weeks to come.

All registrations remain valid for the August conference.
In case you would like to cancel your registration, please contact us by email at conference@eshg.org until June 30, 2021 for a refund of your fee.
