Dear colleague,

Due to the uncertainty of the extent to which travel and meetings in large groups will be possible in October and in line with decisions made by other scientific conferences, we decided to move EDOC 2020 online. We would of course very much have liked to meet everyone face to face, but we do not think that that is realistic at this stage.

EDOC will use a model where authors will pay a nominal fee for having their papers published with IEEE. We will be in touch with IEEE and publish the required fee on the website as soon as possible. Papers will be presented on-line. Attendance of the presentations will be free of charge and we will do our best as an organization to make the presentations as accessible as possible and publish them within the academic community and with our partners from industry.

While this is undoubtedly disappointing, we would very much like to stress the opportunity that this offers for presenting your work to a wide audience. As the high-tech production region of Europe, there is a strong network of a strong local ecosystem of interested researchers and practitioners in Eindhoven and we very much aim to use those connections to attract interested people to your presentations.

We look forward to receiving your papers, to your virtual presentations for EDOC 2020, and of course to hopefully meeting you all again face to face for EDOC’s 25^thaniversary in 2021.

Best regards, Met vriendelijke groeten,
Remco Dijkman
