Conference venue

As the evolution of the pandemic is uncertain and the authorities are reserved when speaking about the relaxation of the social distancing measures during the second part of the year, we made the decision to embrace digitalisation more tightly: STRATEGICA 2020 will be an online video-conference. Both keynote speakers and participants are invited to present live their speeches, but from remote locations.

 

EU participants
All participants coming from EU country members (*as well as US, Canadian and Australian citizens) can enter Romanian territory with their personal ID card.

Non-EU participants
Non-EU citizens need a special Visa (*except for US, Canadian and Australian citizens) which can be obtained from any Romanian embassy. Please, be advised that it takes from a few days to a few weeks to obtain the Visa.
