Dear Colleagues,
As you know, 2020 is the 25th anniversary of ITiCSE. Everyone was looking forward to celebrating the many accomplishments of our community. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 situation changes rapidly, WHO announces COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, new international travel bans were enacted and numerous universities enacted preventive measures that affected a growing portion of our participants, finally, NTNU closed its campus and Norway its borders (to foreign nationals who lack a residence permit in Norway), until further notice.
Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we need to tell you that we have decided to not hold ITiCSE 2020 physically in Trondheim, Norway. However, we plan to proceed to deliver a portion of the conference in a fully virtual format with a limited duration. The WGs will also take place in a remote manner. We appreciate that the ITiCSE community will have many questions. At the moment, we can’t answer them all, but we will post updates here shortly.
The General, Program and Working Group Chairs
