In July the EHL organized the first online ICOHTEC annual conference due to Covid, which attracted roughly 140 participants despite the limitations of the digital format. After the conference, the ICOHTEC General Assembly evaluated the event. There was overwhelming praise for the technical workings and scientific quality of the conference, and for the EHL team’s pioneering effort.  Many assembly members had not expected that digital conferences could work so well. The assembly decided to make digital and ‘hybrid’ conferences and workshops part of its future organization structure. See  also the ICOHTEC August newsletter.
