=== UPDATES regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) ===

VISMAC2020 is half a year away and hopefully the COVID-19 emergency will 
be over by then. Otherwise the option of postponing VISMAC2020 will be 
considered, as the safety and well-being of all participants has the 
highest priority. Further updates will be discussed later.

English, "Machine Vision") is organized every two years by the
