Dear Colleagues,
For better planning the 3rd International Symposium on Lightning and Storm Related Phenomena, we have come to the conclusion, that it would be best for all, to shift the event to next year. The plan is to have the Symposium open to all interested around the world and under the best safe and healthy setup. The current situation does not allow us an other choice.
It is planned to conduct the event in October 2021.
Thank you for your understanding, and in these difficult times for many, dramatic for some, let us be united, watch over each other and have a look to the future.
We look forward to meeting in Aurillac next Year in October 2021 !
