Conference Date: November 5 – 7, 2020

The conference was originally planned for April 2–4, 2020, in hotel Pieniny ** in Niedzica (Poland). Unfortunately, this date had to be cancelled due to worldwide restrictions resulting from the Covid19 pandemic and concern for the health and safety of the participants, so the conference was postponed to autumn.
