MFCS 2020 is organized in cooperation with EATCS
 

   The MFCS conference series has been organized since 1972. Traditionally, the conference moved between the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, while since 2013, the conference travels around Europe. In 2020, it will come back to Prague, Czech Republic. MFCS is a high quality venue for original research in all branches of theoretical computer science.

  • Proceedings are now available.
  • Program is now available.
  • Instructions for preparing 25 minute recorded talk are here. The deadline for uploading your talk is August 17, 2020.
  • Registration is now open.
  • On-Line MFCS
    Based on the poll among the authors of accepted papers we have reached the decision to hold MFCS 2020 on-line. (Only 30% of the authors indicated that they could possibly come in person.) Hence, the meeting will take place electronically using Zoom and other technology, on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 25-26 between noon and 7pm CET.
    Authors of each paper are expected to prepare a pre-recorded talk of 25 minutes that will be made available on-line. In addition to that, there will be live sessions, where each paper will have a short 5-7 minute presentation of the paper by the authors with possibility for questions by the audience. The exact schedule and more details will be made available shortly.
    There will be mandatory registration to participate in the conference. At least one author of each paper is expected to register with paid registration of approximately EUR 100-150. (Registration fees will be used to cover costs associated with publishing the proceedings, virtual services, and other miscellaneous expenses supporting the conference and the community.) All other participants can register for free. Registration will open soon.
  • The coronavirus pandemics is causing a major disruption in lives of many members of our community. To accommodate those members we decided to postpone the submission deadline from April 20 to May 4 and the notification from June 15 to June 29. With the notification we will ask all authors how likely they are to come for a physical meeting to Prague as originally planned. Based on this feedback the conference will be either held physically (with an option of remote participation and a reduced conference fee for those who cannot attend) or completely virtually. Either way the publication of the conference proceedings will go forward as usual.
  • The conference poster is now available to download and print (updated June 11th, 2020).
