**** Due to the ongoing Corona virus crisis and to the restrictions imposed by the Italian Government on university activities from October 2020 to January 2021, we announce that CGSW 35 won’t take place physically in October 2020. We are still finding an alternative solution and will let you know as soon as possible. ****
