<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-language:FR-BE">The conference will be organized in Bruges, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Designated as the "Venice of the North", the city has preserved all the charms of the
medieval heritage. Its centre, which is inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage list, is in itself a real open air museum. We hope that October 2021 will be the right time to organize a physical conference again, after the Covid-19 pandemic; current forecasts
are optimistic for events organized after the summer 2021. Of course health and safety of the participants are our top priority; in the unfortunate event that the situation is not safe yet, the conference will be organized online on the same dates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
