Dear colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit an abstract for *Actionable Science for
Urban Sustainability (AScUS) 2020*. The *(un)conference can be attended in
person or remotely*. The big novelty again is that the conference will have
no presentation—all contributions will have to be submitted ahead of time
to favor discussions during the conference.
All relevant information can be found on the main conference website:
https://ascus.metabolismofcities.org/. *Abstracts are due by Feb. 23* and
can be submitted here: https://easychair.org/cfp/ascus2020.
Do not hesitate to contact me or one of the organizers with questions.
Emails can also be sent directly to [log in to unmask]
See you all in Segovia,
Sybil
