We would like to invite you to the next UCAN Virtual Conference 2021 on September 30, 2021. Please use the online form in the blog post to register.

We would have loved to meet you all in person for this special occasion, but unfortunately the pandemic does not allow for reliable planning. Therefore, we have decided to hold the UCAN conference virtually this year.

We would like to ask you to note the dates for the conference and the technical taskforce meeting in your calendars already now.

In order to give all UCAN partners, who are located in different time zones around the world, the opportunity to participate, we plan to meet in a time frame of about 10:00 – 16:30 UTC + 2 (German time: 12:00 – 18:30).

We will inform you about the preliminary program as well as the possibility to submit abstracts in due time. Please feel free to forward the information to interested colleagues.

We look forward to celebrating the UCAN anniversary together with you.

The virtual conference of the “International Association for Medical Education” will take place from September 7 to 9, 2020.
