ECSA2020 Conference - Trieste Marittima sundawn

Practical Information

Due to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency underway in Italy, Europe and worldwide, ECSA Headquarters and ECSA2020 local organizers have decided to postpone the conference to September 6-8 (same location). This decision was not easy to take, but many of you wrote us in the past weeks about universities limiting travels and, taking into accounts WHO data and recommendation, this seemed the only available option. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to all the persons that already made arrangements for the conference, but we consider the health of our attendees a priority.

Some practical aspects:

  • registrations and payments already done are automatically valid for the September edition.
  • for those who have already registered and paid, but will not be able to participate in September, registration fees will be refunded. No need to rush for cancellation because you can ask for total refunds until 15/6/2020 (same date as the new early bird) by writing to ecsa2020@medialab.sissa.it.
  • if you have an accepted contribution for the conference (talk/session/eposter), you will be contacted in the next weeks for confirmation.
  • we cannot provide any travel reimbursement, but we will give you all available legal details to ask for possible refunds when the Italian situation within the conference period will become more clear.
