The Nordic Flow Cytometry Meeting 2020 is now open for registration.

The meeting will be in Oslo, Norway, 26-28 August 2020. The program will consist of a basic course in flow cytometry for the PhD students (you can get ECTS credit for it) and continue with a list of very skilled people in flow cytometry.

Registration is now open and all relevant link can be found here http://www.flowcytometri.no/oslo-2020/

Corona-virus update:

• We hope to go ahead with the meeting as planned in August 2020, but if needed we will postpone the meeting until 2021. This decision will be made in May 2020.
• The current participation fee will cover your attendance at the postponed meeting, so no need to await registration.
• Full refunds will be issued if registered participants cannot attend the postponed meeting!

If we cancel/postpone the venue within May 28^th we do not have to pay anything. We’ll wait and see how the national guidelines are in the middle of May and make a decision.

Please redistribute to any worried potential participants afraid to register.

We have for long wanted a new and more updated web site, and we have for the past 6 month worked on making this come through. We hope you will use our web site to find relevant information about flow cytometry in Denmark and international.

We encourage everyone to bring forward suggestions for meetings, positions and other relevant information about flow cytometry that you think may be relevant for the community and we will then post it on our web site, for everyone to enjoy.

We would also like to hear from you if you have suggestions for more permanent changes such as new links and resources that you find relevant for the society and its members.

The bylaws of the society dictates that we change the board every year, and people can only sit for 6 years, to make sure we have turnover of fresh blood and ideas in the society. The recent general assembly elected a new board, and we welcome them all.

One thing is a new board, which is important for running the society, but members are equally important. Thus if you know of people that you think might benefit from joining the society, please refer them to our new web site, and tell them about the value of being a member.

The society was founded on May 5^th 1988, thus it is 30 years, and still going strong, since DSFCM was started in Denmark. We are celebrating this after the meeting in Copenhagen November 1^st 11.00-19.00. Look under events to see the program for the meeting, you are in for a treat, also for the mouth, since we have a light buffet after the meeting to celebrate our anniversary. Put the date in your calendar.
