Due to increasing concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus, we have seen greater restrictions being imposed on travel by a growing number of countries, many of which are where our delegates and speakers come from. It is thus becoming more and more apparent that participation in the event may be hindered.  Hence, based on the recommendations of  the University administration, we are regretfully having to postpone our conference 'Embryology Beyond 2020' to a date when we hope the epidemic will have subsided. We propose to reschedule the event to 28-30 August 2020.
