Significant restrictions on the ability to hold face-to-face conferences have been imposed in the scientific world to reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Thus, research by our foreign colleagues showed that in 2020 44.4% of planned conferences were canceled, and many were postponed to another date. In 2021, various forms of online communication were proposed to continue sharing knowledge. At the same time, 40% of scientific forums were held virtually, 26.7% ‒ in a hybrid format, and only 16.7% ‒ in person.
