[3dem] GRC Locations

[Butcher, Sarah]

I agree with David that we should try to utilize web conferencing to 
allow at least some level of participation. This would also help those 
that are financially burdened and have other reasons for restricted travel.

How many people will be cancelling their applications to the GRC this 
year in Switzerland due to possible prolonging of these restrictions 
beyond the initial 3 month ban?

As an aside, I have a one year postdoc position available now, in 
Finland, for a good applicant, funded by the EU. Happy to help someone 
who has had their plans changed due to these politics. Must have 
completed MSc between 4-10 years ago, and not been resident in Finland 
for more than 12 months in the last 3 years.

Please contact me for further details.
