Folge 10 - Pre-pandemic and post-pandemic conferences: The evolution of iPRES

Marcel Ras was part of the comittee that organized the iPRES in
Amsterdam 2019. That was the last iPRES that took place before
the COVID-19 pandemic. He now talks to Katharina Markus (ZB MED)
and Yvonne Tunnat (ZBW) about pre-pandemic and post-pandemic
conferences and the challenges of hybrid conferences.


He also speaks about the advantages to organize iPRES in your own
country, in his case, the Netherlands; and why it is a good idea
to bring iPRES to other continents like Africa and South America
within the next few years and what will be necessary to achieve
this goal.


The interview was recorded in April 2025.
