Conference 2020
Dear submitting authors and conference attendees,
It is with deep regret that we have to announce that the 3rd CeFARR/Bayes Business School and University of Cyprus Conference will be cancelled. The uncertainty related to the feasibility of travel to the UK in September, university closure that will likely continue till at least early September and a two-week quarantine period for anyone arriving in the UK that will likely be in place from June means that we cannot be certain we can successfully run the event. We also do not want presenters and attendees to commit to booking travel arrangements under so much uncertainty. We hope the event can run again next year, September 2021.
Best wishes,
Pawel Bilinski and Irene Karamanou
