Submission Server Open / Coronavirus

[Serge Fehr]

Dear QCrypt Friends

The submission server for the paper submissions for QCrypt 2020 is now open. Please visit https://2020.qcrypt.net/call/#submission-instructions to check out the submission instructions and to find the link to the submission server. Recall that the submission deadline is April 1. 

Because of the coronavirus situation, conferences are being canceled/postponed one after the other. For the time being, the preparations for QCrypt 2020 go ahead as planned, hoping that until summer the situation will have calmed down sufficiently. Nevertheless, the QCrypt Steering Committee and the local organizers are closely monitoring and assessing the situation and its potential impact on QCrypt 2020. In case the conference has to be canceled/postponed, or participants from certain regions will not be able to physically attend due to travel restrictions, measures will be taken to ease the burden and to nevertheless promote the accepted papers. These measures include having a more flexible cancellation and refund policy, and allowing alternative methods of presentation (such as pre-recorded videos). 
Please visit https://2020.qcrypt.net/corona/ and the links there for up to date information. 

Looking forward to your exciting submissions! 

Best regards, 
Serge Fehr and Qiang Zhang, on behalf of the QCrypt steering committee
