Announcement
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, NOK 2020 – The Nordic Congress of Ophthalmology has been postponed until 2022
New dates are: 8 – 11 June 2022
Reykjavík, 2 April 2020
Dear Colleagues,
We regret to inform you that the Nordic Congress of Ophthalmology will not take place this year but has been postponed until 8-11 June 2022 and the location will be the same, HARPA Concert Hall and Conference Centre.
As you are aware, the coronavirus pandemic has made it impossible to have an international congress. The health and safety of all our participants is of utmost importance. The NOK Committee has therefore concluded that the best option is to reschedule the congress to 8-11 June 2022.
There will be continued collaboration with RIWC – the 21st Retina International World Congress, so both congresses are planned on June 8-11, 2022.
We are very grateful to all who committed time to planning this year ‘s congress, the keynote speakers, moderators and authors of the free papers.
We are as well very thankful for the support of all our Sponsors and Exhibitors and hope to see you all in 2022.
To all of you and your families, take care and stay safe.
We look forward to welcoming you in Iceland in June 2022.
On behalf of the organizing committee,
Gunnar Már Zoega & Jóhann Ragnar Guðmundsson
Please save the date for NOK 2022, 8 – 11 June in Reykjavík!
Gunnar Már Zoega, Jóhann Ragnar Guðmundsson, Ólafur Már Björnsson and Þóra Gunnarsdóttir
Harpa, the beautiful concert and conference centre features the best conditions for conferences in Iceland. It is conveniently situated at the harbor in the heart of Reykjavík and within walking distance of the city centre with shops, restaurants, art galleries and a vibrant night-life.
Along with the social programme such as the welcoming reception and the conference dinner, participants will have the opportunity to visit Iceland‘s most spectacular attractions, including geysers, waterfalls, volcanoes and glaciers.
Accommodation in various price ranges nearby Harpa has been booked for participants.
Iceland is only 3-4 hours from mainland Europe by flight, and 5-6 hours from the East Coast of North America. A number of international airlines operate flights to Iceland year round from various cities on both sides on the Atlantic.
NOK 2020 and RIWC 2020 held together
The NOK 2020 will be unique as this will be the first time the Nordic Ophthalmology Congress 2020 will take place at the same venue and time as the RIWC 2020, The Retina International World Congress.
