COVID-19 is affecting our lives all over the world and eRum2020 is no exception. The Organizing Committee has been working very hard to come up with possible solutions, but in such an uncertain time we have to adapt, and quickly, to the changes all around us.

We have therefore decided to consider a different route to make our event happen:  eRum2020 will be the first fully virtual R conference for hundreds of participants. To mark this change, we have decided to rename eRum2020 into e-Rum2020!

We feel this is the most responsible choice for all members of the community, putting the health and safety of all participants in the first place. 

We are now ready to share with you the final version of the program with the abstract of the accepted contributions that have been confirmed.
