Submitted by Jari Stenvall on June 21, 2022 - 10:33

Despite wide international interest in the 16th PASCAL Conference in Tampere Finland, we have concluded that, it is necessary to postpone the event. We have re-scheduled it for 24-26 October 2022 again in hybrid mode. We know that many reading this message will be disappointed, because many of us were keen to meet together again after such a long break. We are very confident that the later date will be much more feasible, and look forward to meeting many of you then in person or virtually.
