Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the activities within the IAMMM have been substantially reduced. After very careful evaluation of the conditions with close collaboration with our Friends at Padua University, the IAMMM board have decided to postpone the Annual Academy Conference to November 12^th-13^th 2021. Dependent on the developments of this COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and in particular any restrictive measures, the IAMMM board will inform the members about the actual practical feasibility of the planned Annual Academy Conference in Padua of 2021.
