Coronavirus Update (2 March 2020)

Dear Perspective Attendee,

As you may imagine this last week (24 February - 1 March) has been extremely intense for the Organising Committees of the event: in fact, we have been addressing the issue related to flu outbreak in Italy very carefully.

We have to regret to inform you that, for this year only, ELS will go virtual; further communications about the new content fruition will follow shortly.

We did what we could to keep the face-to-face meeting on, yet we decided not to put your health at risk. Please, stand by with us for the next few days for further updates.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Best regards,

Luca Porcelli
(on behalf of the Organising Committees)

The European Lunar Symposium (ELS), a meeting that soon became annual, is held every year, since 2012, in a different city in Europe. ELS is a meeting and interaction point for scientists and engineers, academics and industry, from Europe and all over the world.

Lunar exploration is undergoing a new global surge, and many are the current interests in the exploration of the Moon: astronomical, astrophysical, geological, commercial, resource utilisation, and strategic considerations, to its use as an outpost for future human exploration of the Solar System.

ELS brings together the European scientific and technical communities interested in various aspects of lunar exploration. In addition, lunar experts from countries engaged in launching lunar missions are also invited to attend this meeting.
