If the pandemic situation does not allow a face-to-face meeting or if there isn't sufficient interest in the on-site participation at the conference (at least 20 participants) the conference will be virtual only. In this case the registration fee will be refunded in full. See also the Covid 19 Plan section at http://ecsqaru.utia.cas.cz/

The biennial ECSQARU conferences constitute a major forum for advances in the theory and practice of reasoning under uncertainty, with a focus on bringing symbolic and quantitative aspects together. Contributions come from researchers interested in advancing the scientific knowledge and from practitioners using uncertainty techniques in real-world applications. The scope of the ECSQARU conferences encompasses fundamental issues, applications, representation, inference, learning, and decision making in qualitative and numeric uncertainty paradigms.

Previous ECSQARU events have been held in Marseille (1991), Granada (1993), Fribourg (1995), Bonn (1997), London (1999), Toulouse (2001), Aalborg (2003), Barcelona (2005), Hammamet (2007), Verona (2009), Belfast (2011), Utrecht (2013), Compiègne (2015),  Lugano (2017), and Belgrade (2019)
