Coming as no surprise under the circumstances, the EFFAS EMC on 30th April 2020 decided they had no choice but to cancel the 13th edition of the EFFAS Summer School set to take place in Paris from 1st-3rd July 2020. We initially decided to wait and see how the situation developed before choosing how to proceed. However, recent developments to this unprecedented situation and with the uncertainty surrounding the differing timings of the lockdowns, travel restrictions and easing of the lockdowns all over the world, we felt the only safe decision was to cancel this edition of the Summer School.

Sadly, the 13th edition of the EFFAS Summer School has joined the long list of conferences, sports events, music events, and activities all cancelled that we were really looking forward to attending or watching.

EFFAS would like to especially thank all our sponsors and contributors for their hard work towards preparing this event and look forward to their continued contributions to EFFAS. We have already started planning next year’s Summer School so we will channel this work into making next summer’s event memorable for all the right reasons and not by its absence like this year.

We wish everyone good health, a safe exit from this crisis, and look forward to seeing you all at the EFFAS Summer School next year.
