Dear Colleague,

Due to the rapid escalation of the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, the 18th 
International Conference on Thin Films & 18th Joint Vacuum Conference 
(ICTF-JVC 2020; https://www.ictf-jvc.com) has been postponed.

The health and safety of our attendees and staff are of utmost 
importance. We believe postponing the conference is the best option to 
ensure a successful event for our visitors, speakers and sponsors.

Our new venue, Hotel Mercure Budapest Castle Hill 
(https://all.accor.com/hotel/1688/index.en.shtml) is beautiful and 
freshly renovated 4-star hotel is located in the neighbourhood of the 
historical Castle District.

The latest information on the conference website will be available soon.
