Postponement Announcement: 2020 Westlake Forum
Due to the ongoing 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak and the global health concern, the Organizing Committee of the 2020 Westlake Forum has decided to postpone the Forum originally scheduled on April 1-3, 2020 in Atlanta, GA, USA. We will assess the rapidly changing situation and determine new dates for the Forum as soon as possible. Once they are finalized, updated dates and agenda will be announced on this website. Applications for forum registration will re-open once the new dates are announced.
Meanwhile, applications for travel fellowship will remain open and the deadline for travel fellowship applications will be extended to April 30, 2020.
