Annual Meeting 2020 on Causality and Complexity - VVSOR - VVSOR

On March 12th, 2020, we hosted the annual meeting with members and non-members from our society, enjoyed five talks and proceeding discussions, congratulated four award winners, and had a lovely dinner together. We thank all speakers, both online and onsite and all the attendants.
We hope to see you all again in the next year. In the meantime, we will keep you updated via our newsletter. You can also follow us on social media: Twitter, Linkedin or Facebook.
