HoDoMS Conference 2020
23rd-24th April 2020
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are unable to hold our conference at Warwick as planned. However, the talks are all intended to be topical for the current time, and so we intend to hold the conference online instead. The conference will be hosted by the ICMS (Edinburgh) Zoom account.
If you want to participate in the conference, please
