This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry, ACRI 2020, which took place in Lodz, Poland, during December 2-4, 2020. The 24 full and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: theory and cryptography, modeling and simulation, and disease spreading dynamics.
