[Fis] Wake up call

[Marcin SCHROEDER]

Dear Pedro and FIS Friends,
Thank you Pedro for the reminder about the IS4SI Summit. If someone did not
consider yet their participation in the Summit, please visit the website
https://summit-2021.is4si.org/. *The deadline for submission of extended
abstracts is June 15, 2021.* Participation in the Summit is free from any
conference fee. There will be multiple choices for the publication of
papers presented at the Summit's eleven conferences. There is an option to
present different papers at more than one conference.
Once again, thank you Pedro for the "wake-up call".
Regards,
Marcin
