ProteOviedo2020 – Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update – CONFERENCE POSTPONED

The COVID-19 situation is critical across Europe as ProteOviedo2020 approaches. In France, Portugal and Spain there are different situations of confinement and at this moment is early to predict when the situation will be back to normal. In this situation the most reasonable decision is postponing the conference. In consequence, at present, the congress on “standby” situation.

We have worked so hard to have new potential dates to celebrate ProteOviedo2020 in a reasonable timeframe. We will announce the new ProteOviedo2020 date as soon as the situation return to normality in our three countries.

Science must go on so in the meantime we encourage all of you to think about registering and submitting your abstracts. Considering this exceptional situation, early registration will be extended until abstract submission period expires. Please remind that any of you that have paid your inscription and cannot assist to the conference due to the new dates will be reimbursed.

We will keep monitoring COVID-19 situation closely. Please check conference webpage frequently and feel free to contact us if you have any question.

Sincerely,

ProteOviedo2020 – Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

The COVID-19 situation is fluid as ProteOviedo2020 approaches. At present the congress is “on” and we continue our preparations to deliver and exceptional meeting. This plan is consistent with current guidance for traveling between Portugal, France and Spain and the modeled disease progression expected for late May. If Spanish, French or Portuguese authorities, European Commission, or WHO suggest a ban on non-essential travel to Oviedo we will postpone our congress to September. In this case we will refund the inscription fees to those that cannot attend to our conference in the new date.

People from specific regions which may have limited movements during conference dates, or personnel from health systems that are currently recommended not to travel will also get a full refund if they are not allowed to assist to our conference (notifications of these situations should be made before first of May).

Rigorous infection control measures will be implemented, with hand sanitizer dispensers in multiple locations and frequent cleaning of surfaces, microphones, and other objects that could spread the virus.

We will keep monitoring COVID-19 situation closely. Please check conference webpage frequently and feel free to contact us if you have any question.

Sincerely,

ProteOviedo2020 Organizers

It is a pleasure to present to you the VIII Congress of the Spanish Society of Proteomics to be held in Oviedo from 11 to 14 Novemeber 2020. For the first time, it will be held jointly with the proteomic societies of France and Portugal, opening a new stage of cooperation and joint activities.

The congress will be divided into eight sessions, which will cover the different biological, analytical and translational aspects of proteomics. In addition, several training sessions will be held during the pre-congress. As in previous editions, we want this type of meeting to constitute a forum to present the latest conceptual and technological advances in the field of Proteomics, also encouraging the exchange and dissemination of ideas among participants.

From the organization we want to encourage all researchers to contribute to the success of this congress with their attendance and the presentation of their work.

The congress will be held in the iconic Palacio de Congresos de Oviedo, located very close to the city centre. Oviedo is a medium sized cosmopolitan city, which has been able to grow preserving its historical enclaves, such as its pre-Romanesque constructions or the medieval city. In addition, its parks and gardens oxygenate the city thanks to its abundant vegetation, and offer refuge to those seeking peace and tranquility.

From the Organizing Committee we will work to make the congress a success at a scientific and social level, with an unbeatable stay in Oviedo.

See you in Oviedo!

The Organizing Committee
