Unfortunately due to the developments of the Corona virus in the Netherlands and the advice given by the University of Groningen, we are sad to inform you that we have decided to postpone DAWN, to ensure the health of all participants and organisers. We will be monitoring the situation, and as soon as we know more we will let you know the new date of DAWN 2020. Your registration fee will be valid for this later date, but if you prefer to get a refund, you can contact Stijn Arnoldussen (s.arnoldussen@rug.nl).
