Most regrettably, the incoming ABC in Grenoble, planned on 19-20 March 2020 is now postponed till a yet unspecified date, like next Summer or next Fall. Due to travel disruptions all over the World and to gathering restrictions in France, courtesy of the Covid-19 virus. Not particularly surprising given the avalanche of cancellations, but unfortunate. The mirror meetings that had emerged in the past weeks will most likely be cancelled as well, unless a joint program can be constructed based on the local attendees.
Here is the full message from the organisers to the registered participants:
It is with regret that we have to cancel the ABC in Grenoble workshop. We (local organizers) will be waiting for the situation to settle down in order to possibly reschedule for a future date. If so, we would open up the call again both for contributed talks and posters.As you may know, we were already planning to provide electronic options to hold virtual mirrors for the workshop. However, we consider that relying only on streamed talks from various places without a main venue here in Grenoble would make it hard to follow.This may take some time, but we will let you know as soon as we have further information. Please consult the workshop website for up-to-date information


![The SIAM UQ20 conference on uncertainty quantification I was about to attend has been cancelled, unfortunately. I was notified by Florence Forbes, who was also supposed to be there, as the organisers did not see fit to let me know. Now, the incoming ABC in Gre[e]noble may itself prove at risk! Stay tuned.](https://i0.wp.com/xianblog.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/temp-3.png?resize=450%2C155&ssl=1)
