Specific remarks concerning hygiene

Hygiene concept -  rules of conduct

• observe "coughing and sneezing etikette"
• wash your hands regularly
• keep a distance of 1.5 m to other participants or, in case whwere this is not possible, wear mouth and nose protection

• Upon registration to the conference, all participants provide address and mobile phone number

(contact details of the participants will be treated confidentially, and will be deleted one month after the end of the event in accordance with data protection regulations).

Mouth-nose protection

Participants are obliged to bring their own MN protection and to wear it if the minimum distance to other people of 1.5m cannot be adhered to safely (e.g. in the context of specific training), without adequate MN protection participation will not be possible. MN protection will also be provided by the organizers of the conference.

Aims

This course is an attempt to teach Smell and Taste in a most practical and interesting way, meaning that the meeting is not only defined by lectures, but through practical courses and demonstrations. In addition, the meeting is meant to provide a platform for the informal discussion of questions related to clinical issues around smell and taste - to this end we will hold plenary sessions where, for example, cases will be presented. Last, no least, the meeting is meant to build or to strengthen networks among the small community of clinicians interested in smell and taste.
