The conference will be held through Zoom Meeting. Because of the prevalence of Novel Coronavirus and the relevant policy of Chinese government, the committee of IVMSC regret that the conference cannot be organized in one united offline site for participants who are from Beijing.
We wish that the conference will be held successfully.
