Because of the spread of the Covid-19 epidemics, the Organizing Committee of 15th WAPE conference has decided to extend the deadline for applications until April 30. By that date we will have more information and we will make a final decision regarding the conference’s feasibility. Of course, the conference will take place only if travel restrictions will be lifted and everybody’s safety can be guaranteed. In the meantime, abstract submissions will continue. We are still operating under the optimistic assumption that the crisis will be over before the summer. Thus, this is the new revised time schedule of the conference:
Important dates
