Dear Participant, Partner, Sponsor and Supplier of the ARTEM OCC 2020 in Chemnitz! With great regret, we have to inform you that we have to cancel our conference. After the cancelations of some of our key partners, many participants and the travel bans in several organizations and countries because of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) we were still prepared to organize the conference as planned. However, now we have also work and event restrictions locally and directly at our university. Therefore, the conference cannot take place anymore. After preparing this event for more than 12 months, it is also a great disappointment for the local organization team. We all will suffer different forms of costs from that decision. In the end, we have to make this sacrifice. We hope this will be the right decision in the end. We will also inform you if or how any of the conference fees can or must be reimbursed. We will inform you as soon as possible. Due to organizational restrictions such as home office recommendations, our processes are slowed down for an unforeseen time. We would like to ask you for patience in this regard. In any case, we still plan to realize our special journal issues. All of you, who have an accepted abstract, are invited to submit your full papers there. The info for the special issues is on the conference website. Best regards, The Organization Committee ARTEM OCC 2020

All accepted conference abstracts are now published in the conference book of abstracts. Please find the PDF-Version under publications on the ARTEM OCC 2020 website.

The ARTEM OCC 2020 will take place as planned and announced. We will have a medium sized conference with approximately 120 participants. As far as we know, we will have no participants coming directly from high risk areas such as China or Korea. Due to some inquiries regarding the situation on the SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) we recommend the website of the RKI (https://www.rki.de/EN/Home/homepage_node.html) for updates on the situation in Germany and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control for updates on the situation in Europe (https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/coronavirus). At this very moment, there are no infections reported in Chemnitz and area. If you plan to cancel your attendance, we would be thankful to get an update to adjust the program accordingly if possible.
