Covid19, CPS scholarships, elections and GRANA IF
Due to the Covid19-pandemic, also work of the CPS board is affected and everything is delayed a little. In the past weeks, a new CPS board has been elected, two CPS scholarships in connection with the (postponed) IOPC/IPC in Prague have been awarded, and the new impact factor of GRANA has been released that is again above 1!
