Cancellation of LACAME 2020

Dear Edson:

It’s unfortunate that we will miss LACAME 20. I enjoyed LACAME 19 in Santiago
de Chile last year very much.

We also had to cancel the North American Mössbauer Symposium, which was to be
held in 15-16 May 2020 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

It looks like this will be the case for most major meetings in 2020. We
should all be hopeful that we will be able to enjoy each other’s company and
friendship in the coming years. I look forward to see you in ICAME and LACAME
in the near future.

Best regards,

Ercan Alp

Dear Colleagues from Mössbauer Community,
__
First, we hope that you all, including your families, are healthy and safe
(the social distance process is probably something that most of us never
thought before that could occur!).

Since March of 2020, the LACAMEŽ20 (Latin American Conference on the
Applications of the Mössbauer Effect) organizers have been closely
monitoring the worldwide situation about COVID-19 in order to take the best
choices and decisions on the Conference planning, of course, always taking
in mind that the well-being of all Conference participants is our top
priority.
__
Therefore, considering that (i) the Coronavirus will be widespread in 2020,
(ii) the vaccine will probably not be available this year, (iii) most
foreign participants belongs to the risk group, (iv) the LACAMEs occur in
even years, while the ICAMES in odd years and (v) to avoid superposition of
international conferences with the same subject, the Latin American
Committee and the organizers of LACAME20 made the tough decision to cancel_ _the Conference, originally scheduled to be held on October 25-30, 2020 in_ _Vitória/Brazil, and, to postpone to 2022 (LACAMEŽ22)._ __ _We would like to thank you all for your patience, mainly those possible_ _participants that have already sent their abstracts to the conference._ _Following requests by the committee members of LAC, the organizers of_ _LACAME20 understood that the cancellation is the best decision for
everyone at this moment.
__
We wish all the best for the entire Mossbauer community and hope that
everyone be well. We also hope to meet you in 2022 in Vitória/Brazil

Yours sincerely,
