The health and safety of our conference participants, speakers, sponsors and staff is of utmost importance to us and we would not want to jeopardize it by exposing them to any avoidable risk. Therefore, the German Society for Online Research as organizer of GOR 20 has taken the decision to postpone this year’s conference.

The decision was taken after consultation with the local partner HTW Berlin – University for Applied Sciences and based on their “Betrieblicher Pandemieplan “Coronavirus” der Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin” and preventive recommendations.

The new conference date is currently scheduled for Wednesday, 9 September to Friday, 11 September 2020. Conference tickets already purchased for GOR 20 remain valid for the new date.

Accepted presentations and posters for next week’s programme remain accepted for the conference programme in September.

We have not taken this decision lightly and very much regret the inconvenience this causes for everyone who planned to attend GOR next week. We hope to be able to welcome you in September instead.
