CONFERENCE VENUE

The ETFA 2021 conference will be held at Aros Congress Center (http://acc.se/). Aros Congress Center is one of Sweden’s leading conference centers and it is situated in the city center, just a stone’s throw from Västerås Central Station and in the immediate vicinity of shops, restaurants and the concert hall.
The organizing committee of ETFA 2021 is strongly committed to organizing the conference at the planned dates. It will be prepared for full on-site presence in Västerås, with a possibility of having online presentations for authors who might not be able to travel. If restrictions would not allow for an on-site conference, the conference will be run in fully online mode, with virtual session rooms and facilities for online presentation of talks, so that the attendees will have an experience very close to the real conference. The conference proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore at earliest possible time.
