‘The future, always unknowable, is today radically unknowable.’ —ECLAS call, January 2020

Dear ECLAS contributor:

The words were apt. SARS-CoV2 cared not for our plans and scenarios. It set its own agenda, and we must now bend to its logic. We therefore regret to inform you that the ECLAS conference will not take place this year.

This decision is a postponement, not a cancellation. Virus permitting, we will gather in September 2021 instead, and our acceptance of your proposal will remain valid until then.

We will be sending updates on our planning process, including the possibility to revise or update your proposal, in the months to come. As always you are welcome to ask us questions via email. For the effects of this change on subsequent ECLAS conferences, please visit the official ECLAS website.

We will be in touch again soon. For now we wish you health and contentment in these confusing times.

Kind regards,

ECLAS 2020 Organizing Committee
