Dear friends of Media Mutations,

Over the last few weeks, we have lived firsthand the development of COVID-19 in Italy. As you may know, measures have been taken by the Italian government to ensure a slow recovery but, at this time, it is hard to know when this will happen. Given the uncertainty of the global scenario as well, we have made the decision to stay safe and to cancel Media Mutations 2020. Hopefully see you all in 2021.
Stay safe,
The Organizing Committee
