CONFERENCE CANCELLED / KONFERENCE ZRUŠENA

Dear colleagues,

the conference board has been thinking intensively and deeply about the ACTA 60 conference, which is planned to be held in the postponed term that we proposed at the beginning of March 2020. The new term was the first week of October 2020 (5th–7th). We hoped, maybe naively, that the Covid-19 situation would be better and clearer than in spring, the virus spreading would be stopped. Although nowadays things have got better than in March, it is not possible to say “it is over”, or to plan such a meeting for this autumn or the next year. We know a lot of participants would not arrive because of closed borders or other measures, such as problems with the boarding ticket and hotel reservations, or just because they do not want to take risks concerning their health. This is the reason why we have decided to cancel the conference for the moment completely, taking into account also the recommendation of the management of the Faculty of Arts, Ostrava University, the main organiser of the conference.

We hope that in spring or summer 2021, the situation will be easier to predict, and we could open a new system for your paper submitting. Today, the only thing we can say is that the conference will be probably held in April/May 2022, if everything goes the right way.

We are aware of the fact that some of you may have already completed the text versions of their contributions. As it has been offered previously, you can submit them to the Acta onomastica journal (indexed in SCOPUS); the text is subject to a review in consistence with the „double blind review process“. If you decide to submit your text, please, send it to z.dvorakova@ujc.cas.cz (Žaneta Dvořáková); include your surname and the abbreviation ACTA 60 in the subject line of your e-mail. The guidelines for the arrangement of manuscripts are available at http://www.ujc.cas.cz/sd/publikace/casopisy/acta-onomastica.html.

During July and August 2020, we will send you back your conference payment.

Thank you for understanding the situation. We apologize for complications. We hope we meet in person as soon as possible.

 

With kind regards,

Jaroslav David, Faculty of Arts, University of Ostrava (Chair of the Conference Committee)

Vážené kolegyně, vážení kolegové,

konferenční výbor intenzivně zvažoval konání konference ACTA 60, která se měla uskutečnit v náhradním termínu. Začátkem března 2020 jsme oznámili, že nový termín by měl být 5.–7. října 2020. Doufali jsme, možná naivně, že pandemická situace bude jasnější než na jaře a že se šíření viru podaří zastavit. I když oproti březnu došlo k výraznému zlepšení, nelze s jistotou říci, že je vše za námi a že konání konference na podzim nebo na jaře by bylo zcela bezpečné. Je nám známo, že řada účastníků by nemohla přijet kvůli uzavřeným hranicím a dalším opatřením, jako jsou problémy s rezervací letenek nebo ubytování, nebo kvůli obavám o své zdraví. Z těchto důvodů jsme se v tuto chvíli rozhodli konferenci zcela zrušit, a to i s ohledem na doporučení vedení Filozofické fakulty Ostravské univerzity, která je jejím hlavním organizátorem.

Doufáme, že na jaře nebo v létě roku 2021 bude situace předvídatelnější a budeme moci zahájit přihlašování na novou konferenci. Dnes můžeme říci jen tolik, že pokud bude vše na dobré cestě, mohl by být nový termín pravděpodobně v dubnu nebo květnu 2022.

Jsme si vědomi, že někteří z Vás již mohou mít připravenou písemnou verzi svých referátů. Platí, že své příspěvky můžete nabídnout k publikování v časopise Acta onomastica (indexovaném v databázi SCOPUS); text projde anonymním recenzním řízením. V případě zájmu zasílejte své texty Žanetě Dvořákové (z.dvorakova@ujc.cas.cz), do předmětu e-mailu uvádějte své příjmení a zkratku ACTA 60. Pokyny pro úpravu rukopisů jsou k dispozici zde: http://www.ujc.cas.cz/sd/publikace/casopisy/acta-onomastica.html.

Během července až srpna 2020 Vám vrátíme zaplacený konferenční poplatek.

Děkujeme Vám za pochopení a omlouváme se za komplikace. Doufáme, že se co nejdříve budeme moci osobně setkat.

 

Se srdečným pozdravem

Dear colleagues,

I have to inform you that because of the coronavirus, we have decided to take the following steps:
1) it is not possible to hold the conference in April 2020;
2) preliminarily, we would like to postpone the term of the conference to the first week of October 2020 (5th–7th);
3) around 15th August 2020, we will send you the final decision about the conference organization, or its cancellation – I hope we will choose the former;
4) the deadline for submitting your papers to the reviewing process of Acta onomastica will be postponed – please, follow https://kcj.osu.cz/.

I hope that during the next months, the situation will become better, and we will win the fight against the COVID-19. The first step is to stop its spreading. This is the reason for this decision.

Thank you for understanding the situation. We apologize for complications.

Best wishes

Jaroslav David
