Do you know if there will be opportunities to engage? Is it particularly worth watching it live rather than watching videos/hearing summaries later?

 

Rushed response here, I may reply further later, it looks like presentations will be available later (reply from organisers):
"Dear Xxxx,

Thank you for the interest about the conference.

Presentations will be available after the Conference in project website.

I attach the final draft programm but it will be changed till the conference because many lectors postpone participation in the conference.

I sent e-mails to them with offer to make the presentation online. Responses are not received yet. But two accepted. We will correct programm according to received responses about presentations online.

Best regards,

Asja"

I haven't seen the program online - anyone checked?

 

The most up-to-date information on this on their website can be found here, http://www.euromene.eu/conference/general_information.html, which was announcing the conference and opening up registration for attendance.

Any chance you can post the programme mentioned above @FMMM1 ?

 

Just emailed it to you - thanks for offering to upload the program.

 

Lol, I didn't.

 

Isn't this the program? http://www.euromene.eu/conference/programme.html

 

Looks like it is + they should keep updating this to take account of changes.

Caroline Kingdon, the nurse of the UK ME/CFS Biobank seems like a wonderful caring person.

 

She's really lovely!

 

Not quite met her yet but have spoken on the phone (to be ‘roped into’ another project) and had emails and she absolutely is a lovely person!!

It must run in the Biobank family because Dio (the other London based research nurse) is also extremely caring and lovely, note the ‘Battle of the Compression Socks’

In case anybody is wondering, Eliana (from the CureME team) confirmed today that presentations that were recorded will be released at some point to the public in the future - obviously with everything that is going on with Covid-19 when that might be is uncertain.
