Due to the pandemia caused by the Corona virus, all conferences within the Summer of Formal Languages 2020, originally planned to be organized by Rudolf Freund at the TU Wien, had to be cancelled as events where the participants would meet in person at Vienna.

Therefore all the Dates from the list below for the Conferences of the Summer of Formal Languages 2020 published earlier are not valid anymore:
