ECIR 20201 was one of the many conferences affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Conference Chairs decided to keep the initially planned dates (April 14-17, 2020) and move to a fully online event. In this report, we describe the experience of organising the ECIR 2020 Workshops in this scenario from two perspectives: the workshop organisers and the workshop participants. We provide a report on the organisational aspect of these events and the consequences for participants. Covering the scientific dimension of each workshop is outside the scope of this article. A detailed account of the main conference can be found in the Spring 2020 edition of BCS Informer [BCS, 2020].
