It is with great disappointment that EASP and FISS have decided together to cancel their joint conference due to be held at Lingnan University on 26-28 June 2020. Recent world-wide events suggest that we can no longer guarantee the health and safety of our delegates, which is the primary reason for making this difficult announcement today.

A big thank you to all of you who already sent us your excellent abstracts and panel proposals (and to those who were in the final stages of preparing a submission). EASP and FISS are planning to work together to hold the two conferences together in June 2021 and hoping to be able to welcome you all in Hong Kong at this later date.

For now, please stay safe and healthy at this very challenging time.

Yours sincerely,


The Organsing Committee of
The 17th Annual Conference of the East Asian Social Policy Research Network &
The 27th Annual Conference of the Foundation for International Studies on Social Security

Announcement of Cancellation – the 17th EASP & 27th FISS
