The members of the lCLaVE|11 local organizing committee have taken the final decision to change ICLaVE|11 from an on-site to an online-only event.  As evident from our past communication, we have been very reluctant to take this step, and we have for the longest time stuck to our dearest wish to host you all in Vienna in person. But the Coronavirus would have it otherwise. Thank you for bearing with us, and here’s to a great ICLaVE|11 online in April! - The Organizing Committee

ICLaVE|11 is excited to present keynotes by:
