The potential reach of the COVID-19 Coronavirus has changed significantly in the last few days. There has been an increasing incidence of infections in Germany and a growing number of employers and states is placing limitations on travel. Based on these evolving circumstances, it would be an unacceptable risk to bring people from various continents together in Aachen in early April. Such an event can only take place successfully if all our participants feel comfortable with the current situation and a relaxed, unburdened exchange with each other is possible. From our point of view this is unfortunately not given with the current situation.

Therefore, we have decided to cancel AIMS 2020.

We very much apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
