The World Health Organization has declared a pandemic in connection with the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the UNBA Youth Committee - UNBA NextGen and the Board of the European Young Bar Association (EYBA) announce the postponement of the International Summer Conference EYBA 2020 (June 18-21) for the summer of 2021.

"We are constantly monitoring the rapid development of the situation and the forecasts of experts, but at the moment - given that the outbreak reaches its peak at different times in each country - it is impossible to know whether the situation will be resolved worldwide (or at least in Europe) by June 2020 year." - specified in the joint statement.

"The results of preparations for the international conference show that colleagues from different countries are extremely interested in the event. And the UNBA NextGen and EYBA teams immediately found a common language. We will continue to keep in touch and have even more time to prepare!" - stated the Head of UNBA NextGen Serhii Barbashyn.

Follow the news in the Telegram and Facebook group, we will announce the next dates later.
