The Dornbirn-GFC 2020 international manmade fibre conference has been cancelled due to the impact of COVID-19. The organisers issued the following statement this morning:

“This decision was very difficult for us and we regret it very much.  Due to the impact of COVID-19 there will be no possibility to conduct the congress in its usual form this year. The travel restrictions and the extraordinary economic situation complicate the planning of events. The health aspect and the safety of our visitors are in the foreground of our decision.

Dornbirn-GFC 2020 – Webinar Week
