      <div class="moz-forward-container">Greetings,<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>
