At this moment you see an increase of online lectures and webinars via Zoom or YouTube. On one hand that is sad, that we can’t gather in person. On the other hand it is wonderful for people who couldn’t make it anyway or who are even living abroad. There is a wide range of events, and occasionally I hear about one. So I thought I should make a list for anyone who is interested.
(time indications given, Eventbrite seems to give me mainly my own time, so have a good look)
