Dear friends

First of all I would like to wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year, hoping for the end of the COVID pandemic!

Unfortunately, we are forced to cancel/postpone the 12th ISRPF, since the number of submitted abstracts is too small to hope for a successful meeting. It is obvious that people are very worried about the situation and their ability to travel in May 2022, so a very small number of people registered and/or submitted Abstracts.

So, in order to avoid any problems with cancellations/refunds of flights and hotel reservations, and the possibility of some of you not been allowed to travel from your country or enter Greece in May 2022, the Programme Committee and myself decided to postpone the 12th ISRPF to 15-19 May 2023, hoping that by that time the situation around the world will be normalized, and we will be able to hold the symposium as we have been used to so far.

I am really sorry for the development, but I believe it is for the better for all of us.

The symposium website (https://12isrpf.weebly.com) will remain open and updated with the most recent information, and you will be maintained in our mailing list for future notifications. Expect to hear from us again in September 2022, with the new “Important dates” regarding Abstract submission and registration.

Thank you all and please Stay healthy, Be happy!

Yours sincerely,
