Dear Colleague,

We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and in good health.

We are monitoring the situation of COVID-19 and, as organizers, we need to ensure that your participation does not experience any disruption.

The organizing team recognized the need to include the potential authors who did not submit their work due to the uncertainty about physical participation and were not aware of the possibility of remote participation.

Therefore, we are moving to a more inclusive format, a mix of physical and virtual sessions, allowing the remote participation of those who are unsure about traveling and/or gathering resources. The physical venue will be in Vilamoura, Algarve (Crowne Plaza Hotel), with physical and virtual synchronous sessions.

Ultimately, the Organization will strictly follow all recommendations from Governmental Official Authorities and follow lessons learned from other events.
