Dates: July 4-7 2022
Place: Linköping Concert and Congress center

FUSION will be a physical conference only: We have from multiple requests including the board of ISIF been encouraged to go back to the normal conference format. No one really likes the virtual or hybrid formats, conferences are about meeting people. We will only allow virtual conference presentations if there are very good reasons outside of the contol of the authors. Presentations will not be available online.
Covid-19 information: We aim for a fully physical conference, but the Covid-19 pandemic might influence the format. More information about this and Covid-19 measures is found under Destination information. Student travel stipends: We have a limited number of travel stipend for students that cannot be funded by their home institution. Please send your application to chairs@fusion2022.se on May 23 at the latest. Clearly motivate what and how much you apply for (travel, lodging, registration). Include information about your paper ID and if you will present the paper if funded. Granted applications will be informed on May 25.

Publication:
FUSION2022 proceedings will be published by the IEEE in IEEEXplore and is Scopus indexed, and the FUSION Conference is ranked as B1 by the Qualis system.
