<div class="moz-forward-container">Greetings,<br>
<br>
With everyone's health and safety in mind, we are adapting some
of the ways in which IARIA conferences are organized:<br>
1. The submission deadlines (and other dates such as
notification and camera ready) are rather flexible in order to
account for possibly limited author access to the
academic/industrial premises where the research work is taking
place.<br>
2. During the conference, authors will be able to present their
work via pre-recorded videos and/or conference calls (in case
they opt to avoid travel).<br>
3. Selection of awarded papers and invitations for expanded
versions for IARIA journals are not affected by the presentation
method (pre recorded or in person)<br>
We wish you health and safety during these times.<br>
<br>

<div class="moz-forward-container">That being said, note that the
submission deadline of <b>July 20</b> is approaching.<br>

appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and
publish original scientific results to:<br>
