Dear colleagues,

Global crisis caused by COVID-19 virus is affecting all aspects of our lives. Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, and International Sunflower Association, as organizers of the 20th International Sunflower Conference in Novi Sad, are closely monitoring the situation since the beginning of the crisis.

The health, safety and security of all conference participants, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and others are, of course, more important than anything else.

Since further development of the situation cannot be foreseen, together with the ISA Board, we have decided to postpone the conference for the next year. The new time for the conference is June 20^th to June 23^rd, 2022. The conference will be held in the same place, Master center, in Novi Sad, Serbia.

Already paid registration fees and hotel reservations will remain valid, and any individual requests on this issue will be handled with the supporting agency Panacomp. We believe that the sponsors and exhibitors will agree to continue supporting the conference. Conference program and speakers will remain the same, maybe with minor changes. Already received abstracts and papers are valid, a replacement option will also be offered.

We hope and believe that most of the participants, sponsors and exhibitors already registered will be able to adapt to the new date of the conference.

We invite everyone interested to continue submitting abstracts and papers. The conference website remains active and all conference information will continue to be published there.

We wish all of you good health, and to get through this difficult period as easily as possible.

See you next year in Novi Sad!
