Consolidated programme 2021

EuroDIG 2021 – Into Europe’s Digital Decade
(as of 26 April 2021)

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the changing prognosis on the pandemic situation across Europe, it was recently decided to hold EuroDIG 2021 as a virtual meeting again. As much as we would have loved to meet in Trieste, the safety for everyone involved is an absolute priority.

ICTP has gracefully offered to extend their host role again to 2022, and we hope that third time’s a charm and we will be able to meet in Italy next year.
