Formal Announcement
Dear ECC 2020 conference applicants, dear ECREA members,
We would like to inform you that in consultation with the Local Organising Committee, the ECREA Executive Board has approved new dates for the 8th European Communication Conference: 6-9 September 2021.
The conference was scheduled for 2-5 October 2020 but we had to make the uneasy decision to postpone. The different timelines and strategies of gradual withdrawal of pandemic prevention measures adopted by individual European countries have made it impossible to organise the event according to our standards of academic quality and hospitality.
Planning of the postponed event will protect all the work already done in the creation of the conference’s scientific programme. The review process has been concluded and the acceptance of papers and panels remains in place for the postponed conference. Over the next months, the organization department will contact all authors to confirm the approved status of previous submissions. The conference calendar will be revised and new important dates will be announced in the conference website.
We are working to prepare a safe and rewarding conference for all participants. Conferences should be exceptional moments for greater integration into our rich and diverse field for scholars of all ages, groups and research interests.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Braga from the 6 to 9 September 2021.
Ilija Tomanic Trivundza, ECREA President
Helena Sousa, General Coordinator of Local Organising Committee
