Restrictions in our program due to the Corona Virus

The GESIS Training Team is very concerned about the health of participants and lecturers of our courses. For this reason we have cancelled all events that were supposed to take place up to and including 19 April 2020. Currently (20.03.2020) we plan to continue our event program after this date. However, if the situation does not improve, it is possible that events will have to be cancelled at very short notice, even though we make every effort to communicate decisions on this matter at an early stage. In this case, we will, of course, refund the participation fees. However, we cannot refund any further costs resulting from the cancellation. More information here.

Take care of yourselves and help to flatten the curve!
