Covid19 related questions:
Despite the ongoing Covid19 restrictions the conference will take place in person. All participants and speakers will be on site and there will be no possibilities to attend virtually. We have booked the entire Königshof Hotel for the conference, and therefore can hold the conference under general hotel accommodation regulations. This means that all conference attendees need to be fully vaccinated and this will be checked upon arrival. In addition, FFP2 mask wearing will be mandatory during the sessions.
Please carefully check the travel regulations for entering Germany from your home country.
Description:
We are delighted to invite you to the third international Munich Winter Conference on Stress. This conference will again bring together world renowned experts in the field of stress research to discuss the latest research whilst taking in the stunning and invigorating environment of the German Alps. Conference days will feature scientific morning and evening sessions, combined with the opportunity to enjoy winter activities during the day (e.g. skiing, hiking, sightseeing, etc.). In 2021 this conference had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but with vaccinations being available to everybody we can now safely organize this event in person again and look forward to seeing you all in Garmisch next year.

Every attending scientist has the possibility to present a poster at the conference. We are not asking for abstracts from the attendees in order to enable everybody to present their latest, potentially also unpublished, data. Furthermore, we will select a few outstanding young scientists to present their research integrated into the main sessions together with the established scientists.
