ZMO in times of Coronavirus

cid:a8a437aa-564c-46dc-ba47-ece99dcb77fe

In order to prevent a further spread of the Coronavirus, a number of measures have been taken at ZMO: All public events are cancelled until 20 July 2020. Additionally, the library remains closed until further notice. Our office can still be contacted via phone or email.

All fellows at ZMO are now working from home and have shifted to virtual meetings and disussions. To keep you entertained during all those evenings at home, we are now publishing a "Pick of the Day" twice a week on Facebook and Twitter, where our fellows recommend their favourite texts, videos etc. from colleagues.
