Dear Colleagues,

 

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic unfortunately we could not host out annual DDCRS meeting at Bush House, King's College London but instead we decided to visit Japan with DDCRS as part of the 30th Biennial ISUCRS 2020 Congress from the 11-14th November 2020.

 

The DDCRS debate session was held on the 13th Nov from 13:40-15:10 JST as a Virtual Online Meeting. Registration to attend the meeting from 11-14th November 2020 will be FREE for ALL ISUCRS members to participate.
