Cancelled: NCK Days 2020

On Thursday, 12 March 2020, we informed the participants of the cancellation of the NCK days 2020 on Texel, which were scheduled to take place on 18-20 March. The organizers from NIOZ and the chair of the NCK CvT (the supervisory board) have jointly monitored the situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) during the last few weeks. We follow the directives of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), that impose cancellation of all activities with more than 100 attendees.

The conference fee will be refunded. Please do not forget to cancel the hotel, if you booked one.

NCK Days 2020 – Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research will take place at NIOZ, Texel.
