EMIW2020 postponed to 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic affected most academic events around the globe. The EMIW2020 is not an exception. Nobody now can predict when the pandemic will be over. The health and safety of our EMIW attendees is our utmost priority. It is also of great importance to ensure a wide participation of delegates from all over the world.
The DC of IAGA Division VI has discussed several possibilities for the 25th EMIW originally planned for September 13-19, 2020 at Kuşadası, Turkey, suggested by LOC. It has been almost unanimously decided to postpone the 25th EMIW to 2022 and to hold it at the same time, location and venue if possible. Correspondingly, the 26th EMIW will be held in Beppu, Japan in 2024.
The decision has been approved by both LOCs. We will get in contact with all those who have already registered, paid or applied for financial support, to rearrange further actions. The Program Committee will also discuss options with our review speakers.
