EMCIS 2020’s top priority is the health and safety of all participants considering the expanding spread of Covid-19. The EMCIS executive committee reviewed all options available and decided to run the EMCIS 2020 conference online, given the pandemic, the travel bans, movements and gatherings restrictions issued by many governments as well as the restrictions on staff’s mobility by many universities and organizations.

The following are foreseen for EMCIS 2020:

1. Online participation: The necessary infrastructure for running the conference is tested and it is in place.
2. Parallel sessions will be done using virtual conference rooms.
3. Presentations will be delivered online. Presenters will have 20 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes for Q&A. All participants can ask questions and get feedback online.
4. Engagement: We encourage all participants, to maximize their interaction with the speakers and conference participants.
5. Registration fees: Registration fees will be reduced to 50 euro only for this year.
6. Best paper awards will be announced during the conference and the awards will be posted to the winners.

If you have any questions regarding the organizing of the 17th EMCIS conference, please do not hesitate to contact EMCIS.
