Date: September 5-10, 2021
We were forced to change the previously suggested dates of the EUCAS-2021 conference.
The major reasons forced us to these changes are:

- The selected venue: Expocenter Moscow will have many other exhibitions and events for
dates Sept. 12-17, 2021 and it will be very crowded. Expocenter promised to provide us by
the space we would need, but many other events would confuse our participants and will
interfere with the smooth holding of our conference

- The dates Sept. 12-17, 2021 is very important religious holiday (called “Yom Kippur”) for
many of our participants. We received a lot of claims about inconvenience of these dates
for the EUCAS 2021 conference from many our prospective participants.

We request to confirm these changes from old dates September 12-17, 2021; to the new
dates: September 5-10, 2021 by ESAS Board. All information about has already been
circulated. http://www.eucas2021.org/

VENUE: Expocentr-Moscow
                              http://www.eucas2021.org/venue
        The conference will be held in Expocentr - an international exhibition center in the heart of the city. The
        Kremlin is only 10 minutes drive from the conference venue and 15 min by subway (metro). A lot of
        hotels around. Halls and rooms for EUCAS 2021 has been booked.

Expocentre (https://www.expocentr.ru/en/ )is one of the
 leading exhibition companies in Eastern Europe and the
     largest organizer of international exhibitions and
  conventions in Russia. The best exhibition venue in the
   centre of Moscow, close to the Vystavochnaya metro
   station, provides convenient traffic connection and a
             comfortable working environment

                               Also agreed to participate:
                               14 – for Electronics
                               20 – for Materials
                               18 For Large scale
Budget
• Analysis goal: how many minimum participants we have to have to get positive
  income after end of the conference at the certain value of the conference fee.
• We strictly used the experience and examples from EUCAS 2019 in the budget
  sheet and proportions between full/retired/students/day visitors/guests
• Three publishing options considered: expensive: IEEE TAS with Centennial
  Conference as reviewing and editors management: medium expensive: IoP with
  CC as management and cheap: IoP without CC management. The publication
  costs have been obtained from all publishers .
• We used several sets of the conference fees much cheaper than at EUCAS 2019
  and close to those.
• Our calculations are approximate of course and will be specified during further
  work. But we believe that we have good safety margin in our calculations for
  everything we anticipated the maximum price. In reality many things could be
  cheaper.
Budget – the result.

            In our opinion, the preferable option is V.3 specified with IEEE TAS+CC
BUDGET - CONCLUSIONS

We can have well balanced budget in case of 415+ participants and
conference fee 50€ per person cheaper than at EUCAS 2019 even
with expensive IEEE TAS + CC publishing.

We prefer to use support from professionals, like Centennial
Conferences (for publishing) and MirExpo (for entire conference
organization.)

       What will be the decision from ESAS??
Decisions to be done
• Confirm EUCAS – 2021 new date.
• Confirm committees.
• Agree with the budget.
• Confirm publisher. Our choice: IEEE TAS with CSC and CC support.
• After publisher confirmation – decide about Editor in Chief. We have
  candidates.
• Whatever you consider important
Extra note
COVID-19 is still around the world and nobody know what will
happen by September 5, 2021.
Right now we consider real face-to face conference, may be people
will be happy to meet again after all quarantines.
But on-line conference is an option and MirExpo has experience and
instruments to organize on-line conferences as well. We are ready
to organize it as well.
Let us see how it will be going on. In any case all conferences after
June 2021 are still on face-to face options.

         What will be the opinion from ESAS??
