Given the current circumstances and the COVID-19 crisis, we have decided to switch to an online format for the whole conference. In order to provide an enjoyable and inspiring online conference experience we have to limit the number of parallel sessions. This will allow us to keep formats interactive, include breaks, and accommodate different time zones. Consequently, only a limited number of full paper presentations can be held. In case your submission was accepted as a full paper or a speed talk and you would be willing to switching to our new format “Conference Gallery”, please let us know. The Conference Gallery offers the possibility to submit pre-recorded contributions and engage in live discussions with participants (more on this format see below).
Networking Opportunities
To convey Vienna´s flair as part of the remote conference experience, the organizers are striving to include networking and socializing opportunities such as breakfast sessions, music and curated art performances etc. Further details to be announced shortly.
