After 16 years of holding AIAI, strong links have been developed with the members of our scientific community. This has been proven very clearly this year, with the high volume of submissions despite the major challenges facing our societies. We wish to thank you very much for that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Human health is the most important asset of all. We are interested in the health and wellbeing of all our community, under the challenging circumstances that we are all facing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In case the crisis ends in due time we still leave the option to hold the conference in the arranged venue open. If this<\/strong><strong> is<\/strong> <strong>not the case, the conference will be held in a hybrid mode.<\/strong> Detailed information regarding the 16th\u00a0AIAI 2020 will be announced on the website.
