News related to the coronavirus epidemic 

Dear BioMetals future participants,

 Unfortunately, the worldwide covid-19 pandemic and the national recommendations applied in several countries including France do not allow us to stay optimistic and to travel during the forthcoming months.

–The Biometals2020 symposium will not take place in Villard de Lans in July 2020 –

                                         (see below for refund )       

After discussion, and considering the already overcrowded 2021 summer in other bioinorganic conferences, 

we decided to transform BioMetals 2020 in a live Web-symposium, that should take place at the same period in July.

                                             (see below for registration)

More than 90% of the invited speakers have accepted to present their work online in live.

This virtual Biometals symposium will be a unique new adventure

that we hope you will share with us !

We know that it will never replace a face-to-face Symposium, but it will be better than nothing. The positive point is that it will be economically and ecologically satisfying.

* Concerning cancellation of the Villard de Lans symposium and refund conditions:

 Accommodation and Registration fees will be fully refundable free of any charge.

 It order to be refunded you have to send us all the Bank information for the recipient's account to biometals2020@gmail.com

* Concerning the registration to the web-symposium:
