=== EAMT 2020 is Taking Place Remotely from November 3 to 5, 2020 === In March, we have decided, after much deliberation, to postpone EAMT 2020 to November, 2020. This decision was made because we believed we still had chances of meeting in person later in the year and proceeding with an in-person conference. However, in light of the current developments of COVID-19 in Europe (and worldwide) with many travel and congregation restrictions imposed by governments still in place, we believe that now the best solution is to host a remote conference. Our local organisers (Unbabel, INESC-ID and Instituto Superior Técnico) are still in charge and are working hard to organise a very productive and successful conference.
Again, our prime obligation is to ensure a safe and successful conference for our members and the EAMT community and, within the current situation, we believe that a remote conference is the best way to achieve that. In order to avoid further confusion and to allow the local organisers to be well prepared for the task, we will still keep the conference in November. Now, we have the final dates: from 3rd to 5th of November 2020. == Registration fees == With a remote conference, most of the costs are now void. Therefore, the registration fees are symbolic and will be used to cover the costs of remote meeting platforms: - EAMT member: €30.00 (student rate: €20.00) - EAMT non-member: €80.00 (student rate: €40.00) You can become an EAMT member by signing up here: http://www.eamt.org/membership.php You can register to EAMT 2020 here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eamt2020-registration-97323977637 Apart from authors (see details below), there will be no early bird registration deadline, i.e. prices will not change and participants can register at any time prior to the conference. == What if you have an accepted paper? == The proceedings are still being published earlier as planned, at around the *7th of June*. This allows authors of accepted papers to have their current work published in the community as planned without waiting until November. At least one author per accepted paper must register for the November conference until the *31st May 2020* in order to have their work published in the proceedings, as usual. Apart from the projects/products track, authors from multiple papers will need to register only once. Authors will also be able to include an update on their research during the presentation. == What if you have already made travel arrangements? == If you have already made travel arrangements and cannot cancel or rebook, please contact us at [email protected]. We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause you. We feel that this is in the best interests of our community and are grateful for your understanding. == Sponsors == We would like to use this opportunity to thank our sponsors for their kind support and understanding during this very difficult time for our association, our local organisers and our community. Without them our conferences would not be as successful. Therefore, we are also committed to give them as much visibility as possible given the current arrangements. We hope to "see" you in November! Sincerest regards, Carolina Scarton EAMT Secretary (on behalf of Mikel L. Forcada EAMT President General Chair of EAMT 2020)
