COVID-19 Update:

Given the pandemic, and the travel and mobility restrictions related to it, with regret, we have come to the decision to postpone the conference till next June.


After consultation with our keynote speakers, the conference will take place between Thursday 24 and Friday 25 June 2021.


We will keep the same list of accepted abstracts- and we hope that the new dates will suit most of you. For those who have already paid registration fees, we are in the process of compiling a list and liaising with our finance personnel in order to put in place your reimbursement.


We hope all of you are well, healthy and in good spirits; We send our warmest wishes, and we renew our academic get-together for next June. In the meantime, if any of you need any further clarification, please contact us at icsathens2020@gmail.com .
