The INCB held its postponed 128th session from 31 August to 4 September 2020. Postponed from May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was held in a hybrid format to enable Members to participate virtually from around the world. A more comprehensive summary of the proceedings can be found on the INCB website.
The Board renewed the mandate of its President, Cornelis P. de Joncheere, and elected a new Bureau for a one-year term.
