The Corona pandemic still affects our every-day live. After the cancellation in 2020, we decided to move the meeting to June 2022. During the last two years, June was the months with the lowest infection rates and no official travel ban in Germany and other countries. We hope to meet similar conditions in Europe and Germany during this next summer, to make this event take place and the best possible community experience possible.
However, as host institution we are responsible for the safety of our guests and we are acting under the official rules of the infection protection law. Therefore, we have fixed the following cancellation rules. We hope that transparency helps to encourage you registering for the conference and to welcome you as an attendee during the Cermak7 meeting in June this year.
Please, take notice that the following rules cover the cancellation of your meeting registration, but not of your selected hotel or hostel. For cancellation of your accommodation please check out the rules of your individual accommodation or booking platform. The cancellation of registration fees, the following cases needs to be considered:
Case 1: Conference host (GFZ) cancels due to public order
In case that we are forced to cancel the meeting in presence due to public order or administrative rules:
Case 2: Attendee cancels the registration
In case that you as attendee cancels the meeting, the following rules apply.
