Announcement: Rescheduling of 6th CIFA Regional Symposium

2024-08-06

24 Feb 2022

The 6th CIFA Symposium Organising Committee has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic since its outbreak. In the light of ther latest development, we have decided to postpone the Symposium that was originally scheduled to take place on November 25-27 in Taipei, Taiwan.

This is not an easy decision, but ultimately the public health and safety of our attendees, speakers exhibitors, staff and volunteers have led all parties to conclude that postponing the Symposium to June 9-11 2021 is a most advisable one. Please mark the dates in your diary! The detailed rescheduled programme will be announced in due course, please keep following our official website at https://cfrc.ntu.edu.tw/cifa for more details.

Meanwhile, please take note of the rescheduled dates as following:

PROGRAMME DATE
Deadline for abstract submission 31 December 2020
Announcement of acceptance of paper 31 March 2021
Deadline for early-bird registration 30 April 2021
Presentations and papers confirmed 8 May 2021
Pre-Symposium Agency Visits 6-7 June 2021
Pre-Symposium Workshop 8 June 2021
Symposium 9-11 June 2021
Thank you for your understanding for the change. We have always valued you as our partner in the CIFA community and committed to continue to support you in your academic and professional development through this regional platform. We wish you and your loved ones safe and well, especially during these unprecedented times.
