It has been long in the making, so we are delighted to announce that registration for the Pre-Conference and Third Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Early Childhood Research, themed "#comebackstronger", is now open.

Dear Members and Friends of the Swiss Society for Early Childhood Research We cordially invite submissions for the First Perinatal Research Special Interest Group Symposium of the Swiss Society for Early Childhood Research (SSECR), a conference that brings together scientists from diverse disciplines and professions in perinatal research. Authors are kindly invited to submit their suggestions for oral presentation.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is extended until the 9th of June 2021! The Third Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society for Early Childhood Research (SSECR) will take place on November 23th and 24th 2021 in Zurich, Switzerland. Please see the attached Call for Abstracts.

Every month there is the opportunity for a zoom-meeting among SSECR Juniors (potential new members are always welcome to participate in an event to get familiar). The aim is to get in touch with each other in a relaxed atmosphere with coffee or tee and to connect Early Career Researchers in the field of early childhood research. The event takes place online on changing workdays at 1pm. Usually, we first split up in random groups of two to get to know each other in person (it is easier to communicate this way than in big groups). At 1:15pm there will be a short, creative presentation by one of us about a PhD- or work related project. At 1:30 there is the possibility to opt out and get back to work (since your mug will probably be empty by then) or keep discussing the project and other issues that you would like to talk about among peers. This discussion will be moderated (e.g. by a member of the organising committee).
