On 26 February, the Israeli Ministry of Health had issued a recommendation to avoid international travel, including attendance to international conferences and meetings, due to the spread of the Corona Virus. In light of this announcement, and following consultations with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and British Council officials, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Gala Reception on March 4, and all related events planned in London.
We were very much looking forward to this exciting event, and hope to have a chance to come together and celebrate science and collaboration between the UK and Israel in the near future.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause
