IEEE MMSP 2021 is organized as a hybrid event. We are closely monitoring the situation and restrictions in the Tampere area and we commit to follow all hygiene and safety instructions. However, rapid changes in the COVID-19 epidemic situation are still possible. In case the situation changes and prevents us from hosting participants locally, we will contact all registered participants immediately.

While we wait for a final deliberation from the authorities, and due to the fast-evolving scenario, the Chairs of MMSP have decided that registrations to persons registering for in-person participation will be granted only to participants who are able to provide an official green pass or EU coronavirus passport or equivalent certification from their local authorities. We reserve the right to inspect these certificates if requested by the local authorities.

As we cannot guarantee that participants will be allowed in the conference facility without a certificate, we are ready to convert in-person registrations of such registrants to virtual-participation ones and reimburse the difference minus the fees charged by the card operator.

You can find out more about the safety rules at the conference venue and hotel on Scandic Rosendahl’s webpage.

You can also find up-to-date information about the travel restrictions in Finland regarding the coronavirus pandemic on Finnish Government’s webpage. At the moment, persons who have received a complete and valid vaccination series may be granted entry into Finland from any country, provided that at least 14 days have passed since the last vaccine dose has been received. Also, travelers arriving in Finland from the EU and Schengen countries are not bound by travel restrictions. Detailed guidelines for people arriving in Finland can be found on the Finnish Border Guard webpage.
