Welcome

e-FA2020 took place as an online version from December 7 to December 11, 2020. 700 oral presentations and 56 poster presentations have been proposed to the 1100 attendees.

Beside the two plenary lectures, given by internationally renowned researchers (Pr. Andrew Oxenham and Pr.

The program is organised in 14 scientific themes (see the Scientific Program page to know all about it !).
