The Internet Workshop Anti-Covid took place over two days from 22 to 23 June 2020. The goal was to initiate and integrate activities aiming at overcoming the problems concerning Covid-19 by using ICT tools and methods.
The scope was fairly comprehensive and comprised the following topics:
- Computing support for understanding Covid-19 and its implications (modelling and prediction of spread of the virus, modelling socio-economic implications, computer-supported diagnosis of Covid-19, bioinformatics aspects of Covid-19),
- ICT in protection against Covid-19 (safety vs. privacy, tracing infectious contacts),
- ICT in the times of pandemic (online education, virtual offices)
The workshop consisted of 9 invited lectures and 15 presentations selected by the Programme Committee. Every day the number of participants was over 100.

There will be also a special issue of the Bulletin of the PAS: Technical Sciences (JCR Impact Factor 2019: 1.385) with a few selected papers covering the topics of the workshop. It is planned to organize another such workshop in 2021 under auspices of IFIP.
