Dear colleagues and friends,
It is with regret that I have to inform you that due to the COVID-19 crisis we have decided to postpone our Annual Scientific Meeting, which was originally scheduled to commence on April 1.
Over the past week I have received a number of emails regarding travel restrictions being implemented by universities and health care facilities internationally. These restrictions have impacted dramatically on a significant proportion of delegates, including key speakers. Further, additional restrictions on travel are likely to be implemented in the coming weeks.
In light of these events, the EACE Board has decided to reschedule the meeting and the pre-conference leadership course to the beginning of December 2020. We are currently exploring our options and will endeavour to inform you of the new dates as soon as possible, so that travel plans can hopefully be changed, rather than cancelled. Delegates who have already paid registration fees, and won’t be able to join us in December, will be fully reimbursed.
I do apologise for any inconvenience this decision may have cause and I hope to see you in December. The city of Krakow is very picturesque in winter and I look forward to meeting you there.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Sabine Fromm-HaidenbergerPresidentThe European Association for Cancer Education

Annie Bosch Memorial Prize
Annie Bosch Memorial PrizeThis award has been founded in memory of Annie Bosch (1946-2002), previously, secretary and treasurer of the European Association for Cancer Education 1998-2001.
Annie originally trained as a teacher, and then moved into health care and trained as a nurse. Although she remained in healthcare, she never lost her enthusiasm for, and involvement in education. Annie worked for the Comprehensive Cancer Centre for the East Netherlands IKO where she became director for Nurse Education and training.
She pioneered several initiatives in education, supported teams for palliative care, and multimedia interactive education packages. Annie also had a keen interest in palliative care and was a founder member of the International Palliative Nursing Network (IPNN).
This award has been funded by her husband Henk Schok to enable her legacy of supporting colleagues as they strive to improve not only their care but also their education and dissemination skills.
This award is presented to the author of the best poster of the scientific meeting as voted by the attending delegates. This is only awarded if posters are included in the meeting format.

Krakow, localized in souther Poland is a city with a long tradition, former seat of the Polish Kings and capital of the Kingdom, filled with works of art, historical, cultural and scientific heritage and beautifull architecture. Wawel Hill with a Kings‘ catle has been settled since Palaeolithic times and the residence of the kings since the mid- 11th century.
The Jagiellonian Univeristy as one of the oldest institutions of higher education, second to the University of Prague hosted Nicolas Copernicus an John Paul II as the students.
Krakow has been the place of coexistnce of two important cultures: Christial and Jewish and you can find its signs at Kazimierz, filled not only with the gems of Judaica – synagogues, museums but also atmospheric restaurants, artistic pubs and taverns filled with live music.
There are other interesting places, like Nowa Huta – implementation of architectural assumptions of the socialist realist ar hitcts, famous salt mine in Wieliczka, Medieval castles on the limestone hills arround the area, biggest mountain chain in Poland – Tatry and many more.
