With substantial uncertainty over the rampant interruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, the Steering Committee is taking priority concerns on the safety precautions and well-beings of every potential attendee of eMDC-2020, both locally and internationally. After careful considerations into this prolonged agony amid lengthy lockdowns on global scale, it is decided that the scheduled event of eMDC-2020 on September 4, 2020 in HsinChu, Taiwan, shall be cancelled this year.

Both Steering Committee and Organization Committee truly regret such an enduringly stressful decision but wish to thank the solid supports and contributions of all participants and collaboration partners of eMDC-symposia. The Steering Committee shall review the overall situation periodically to decide on further developments and sincerely wishes good health to all potential attendees of future events of eMDC.
