++++  ERS 2020 conference will take place online  -  submissions possible until April 8  ++++


Dear colleagues,

These are extraordinary times that require all of us to depart from what we had planned!
Consequently, the 2020 CSCMP European Research Seminar has been moved to the virtual space and will take place online.

The new format will be designed with respect to time zone differences to also allow researchers from North America to participate.
As in the past years, the conference is directly connected to both Journal of Business Logistics (JBL) and the International Journal of Logistics Management (IJLM)

We are aware that a virtual conference is not the same as a traditional conference. Some features of a conference can just not be virtualized.
However, online formats can also offer new opportunities that will allow us to be experimental, involve new ways of interaction, and provide new forms of feedback. The more we discussed these opportunities, the more we are excited by them!

The virtual conference will take place at and around the time originally planned: June 18 and 19, 2020 plus a few days before to also allow for some asynchronous formats.
In addition, we will extend the deadlines for submission of full papers, conference papers, research idea proposals, and proposals for discussion forums by two weeks (i.e., until April 8).

We will soon inform you via our webpage about further details, but we can already promise that the virtual ERS will provide several exciting new formats that we are sure you will like!

Carl Marcus Wallenburg & Andreas Wieland
