While the 24th Congress of the German Society of Sterile Supply (DGSV) was held this year in Fulda, only the members of the board of directors and the speakers attended in person. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, the audience had to stay away from the venue and tune in remotely to the lectures taking place at this hybrid event.

The members of the Institute of Decontamination Sciences (IDSc) held their annual conference as usual in early December, but on this occasion at a new venue in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
