Abstract

Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, we had hoped to receive you personally at our first “Summer Edition” from June 23rd to 25th, 2021 in Stuttgart. However, we are currently so concerned with the corona pandemic that it is not yet to be expected in June. In addition, our congress location, the Liederhalle Stuttgart, is used as the city-s central vaccination center and no one can currently determine an end to it. Therefore, the board members of AGPD and DGKED decided not to hold the JA-PED conference as a face-to-face event in Stuttgart, but to broadcast it as a virtual annual conference from Stuttgart.
