Schedule

Due to the rapidly deteriorating situation all over Europe, we are forced to organize MUM2021 as a virtual-only event. We plan MUM2021 to be an interactive virtual conference and hope that the conference system we plan to use facilitates interactive discussions and scientific exchange like a regular conference.

Below you can find the preliminary conference schedule, so please be aware that the timings can still vary slightly.

All times are in the local conference time (CET).
