We were preparing for the 11th Technology Transfer in Diagnostic Pathology Central European Regional Meeting – Uropathology in June 2021. Due to the Covid pandemic the
decision of postponing was made. The new date was in November 2021, but the Covid situation prevented to hold the congress physically. International members of the Faculty

IAP Educational Committee decided to support our conference but because of postponing the event we re-applied for an educational grant for this year. The leadership of IAP HD is
grateful for the support of IAP Educational Committee. The new date is June 23-25 2022. We had to change the venue as well: the congress will take place in Székesfehérvár.
