to register. If you are not accepted, you will be put on a waiting list. The <span>GRC and GRS for 3DEM are
<b>traditionally highly over-subscribed</b> (at least by a factor of 2x, this year maybe even higher). Many highly qualified people will have to be put on the waiting list. However, the pandemic and travel restrictions may cause cancellations – like last year
– thus, I expect that acceptances from the waiting list will be made until close to the meeting (please be patient). </span></span></p>
