Important Information
If the public health restrictions enable it, the conference will take place in Lisbon and virtually. All sessions (key-note, special sessions, track sessions) will have a presential component and enable virtual participation of those who choose not to attend in person. The number of participants in presential sessions may be restricted.
Unfortunately, due to the unpredictability of the pandemic evolution, we cannot discard the possibility for the conference to take place exclusively online. In that case, presential registrations will be converted to virtual ones. If necessary, reimbursements of excessive payments will be processed.
We will post updates in these matters regularly.
Conference Registration is open!
Paper Submission is also open to the accepted abstracts. The template for the full paper is available on the call for papers page.
