EUNIS Congress 2020: cancelled

We are saddened to announce that due to the COVID-19 outbreak we are forced to cancel the EUNIS2020 Congress at the University of Helsinki in June.
We are really sorry to all those who had submitted their abstracts for the review that are not able to present their findings at the Congress. However, the review process of extended abstracts is running, and from the end of April, you will know about the acceptation or not of your abstract submission. If your abstract is accepted by the Scientific Committee, EUNIS will propose you to publish it on its European Journal of Higher Education Information Technology. Further information will be sent directly to the authors.

EUNIS Special Interest Groups and Task Forces are now focused on organizing online activities, but as things are still in the planning stage, we ask your patience for further announcements on this.

The Board of EUNIS and the Organising Committee of the Congress 2020 will also discuss in the next future the opportunity to set virtual meetings on dedicated subjects. These virtual meetings could include presentation of full papers, and you will be informed about them.

Once again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience and the cancellation which is absolutely necessary regarding the dramatic coronavirus epidemic conditions.
