We are closely monitoring the situation regarding Covid-19. If necessary, we will become an online conference. But for now, we will stick to the original plan. The proceedings of PPSN will appear in Springer's LNCS series as planned, independently of the format of the conference.

[Parallel Problem Solving from Nature Conference @PPSNConference]

Regarding the current Covid-19 crisis👉we are monitoring the situation and expect the conference to continue as planned. If we have to, we will either postpone or evolve into an online conference. Fees will be reduced if the latter is the case. Stay tuned for further updates!

[Parallel Problem Solving from Nature Conference @PPSNConference]

As a result of the new measures for COVID-19, we have decided to extend the PPSN 2020 submission deadline with 2 weeks. The new deadline is on April 22. All the necessary information is available here: https://t.co/hmKoy6spH6 Take care during these challenging times!
