We did it – like really did it! The exclusive in-person EMIM 2021 took place from 24-27 August in the amazing industrial Lokhalle in Göttingen. It was a tough journey to get there but seeing all of you so excited, happy, and grateful was worth all efforts!
What else to say rather than a big THANK YOU: thanks for joining this adventure, for your trust, dedication, and patience, for all your efforts to come to Göttingen – even taking the final hurdle of the railway union strike. It has been a new challenge and experience for the society and certainly shows the particular dedication of the community.
For all of you who were not allowed or able to join – the next EMIM in 2022 is just six months away…
