Organization
The ECSA Steering Committee decided to hold the ECSA Conference biannually in different member countries and with different hosts. The First International ECSA Conference was held in 2016 in Berlin. The Second International ECSA Conference was held in 2018 in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2020, SISSA Medialab and Università di Trieste coorganized the Third International ECSA Conference, which was held in Trieste, Italy, even if the conference switched to online, due to Coronavirus pandemic.
