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.
