Yes! Due to health concerns surrounding COVID-19 and uncer­tainty about the kinds of travel and event restric­tions that will be in place in July, we’ve decided to digitalise the Academy this year. Our programme will still offer world-class, expert-led seminars and presen­ta­tions!

Apply online by filling out an appli­cation form here.

Applicants meeting academic and profes­sional require­ments will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Even though the Academy will be digitalised this year, the number of spaces is still limited, and early appli­ca­tions are encouraged.

We have decided to waive all partic­i­pation fees for the 2020 IKEM Academy. As in previous years, however, we’ll limit the number of partic­i­pants to ensure that everyone can engage as closely as possible with each other and our speakers. As a result, the appli­cation process for this year’s Academy remains unchanged.

Except for the site visits, which aren’t possible under the present circum­stances, the content of the Academy programme will not change. We’re currently working with our speakers and workshop leaders to adapt their sessions to the new format.

We’re currently working with our speakers to ensure that sessions are recorded. Please check back for updates.

While we’re excited to explore the oppor­tu­nities of a digital Academy this year, we plan to return to the programme’s original in-person format in the years to come. We’re already looking forward to the apéros and farewell barbeques of the future!
