Dear all,
Due to renewed increase in the number of COVID-19
infections<https://graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-ma…
and continuing uncertainties regarding the underlying trends and potential
pandemic-related regulations in Hungary, the organizing committee has made the difficult
decision to hold a fully virtual BCCCD meeting once again, forgoing the previously
announced hybrid option. This means that the conference will take place exclusively
online, between 10 and 14 January 2022. We are very sorry that we won’t be able to host
you in Budapest, but given the aforementioned circumstances, we cannot confidently plan a
safe and well-attended local event.
The presentation formats will be adjusted to the online constraints the following way. All
accepted poster submissions will transform to virtual presentations. Virtual presenters
will have their dedicated channel on an online platform, with their material uploaded
directly into the channel, so that attendees will have access to the presentations that
they can discuss in the same space. Additionally, presenters will be asked to be online in
their channel during assigned sessions, so that participants in different time zones can
attend each other's presentation slots. Accepted paper submissions will either move to
one of the online live paper sessions, or, in case they were also submitted for poster
sessions but not selected to be included in the paper sessions, will also be transformed
to virtual presentations. Similarly, accepted virtual presentations will either move to an
online paper session or remain virtual presentations. Finally, all accepted symposia
(whether they were submitted to the on-site or the online part of the conference) will be
held online, and we will offer the option to the contributors of not selected symposia to
turn their talks into virtual presentations. We will notify the corresponding author of
each submission about acceptance and the format of their presentation by the end of this
week.

We hope that in spite of this change in format, BCCCD22 will prove to be a professionally
stimulating and memorable experience.
