Last year we had over 300 registered participants. This year, granted with a lower COVID spread and in many cases an end to the ban on large personal meetings, we have 35 registered participants so far. We hope and believe the interest to be higher and wish
to call your attention to the <b>online</b> Social Simulation festive event of the year.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
We will send out the zoom links in due time to those who have registered and keep them also informed of any changes.
