Banská Bystrica, Slovakia
22–24 September 2021

Dear colleagues,

the TIC organizing committee has been watching the situation around COVID-19 closely. After careful thought, the TIC 2020 team has decided to move the conference to September 2021 (22-24).

We are aware that the potential conference participants have been watching the situation as closely as the organizing committee, considering their application along with the possibility to travel in these difficult times.

The committee has therefore decided to move the deadline for abstract submission to September 30, 2020 in order to receive abstracts from participants who have decided not to submit them due to reasonable fears concerning the spread of COVID-19.

We sincerely hope that moving the conference to September 2021 (22-24) and moving the deadline for abstract submission to September 30, 2020 will encourage the future participants to reconsider the decision not to submit their abstract. Hopefully, the updated dates and deadlines will guarantee not only a scientifically fruitful conference, but also a safe event where all participants meet in good health and without fear from the virus.
We will keep you updated.
Best regards,

TIC 2020 TEAM
