About IWSHM 2021

Main content start

The organizing committee of the IWSHM 2021 workshop has closely monitored the recent COVID-19 conditions as they apply to the travel situation around the world. Due to the recent worldwide upsurge of the Omicron variant, the organizing committee regretfully decided to cancel IWSHM 2021 due to safety concerns and travel uncertainty.

The IWSHM 2021 will fully refund the participants who already registered for the in-person attendance in IWSHM 2021.

The organizing committees of IWSHM 2021 and EWSHM 2022 have decided to publish jointly the papers that have been accepted by IWSHM 2021.  The authors would have a choice to either publish their papers in IWSHM 2021 proceedings or transfer the paper to EWSHM2022 proceedings.  The authors who would like to publish their papers in the IWSHM 2021 proceedings, please click here and fill in the form.   A publication cost for the proceedings will be announced soon.

However, for those who would like to transfer your paper to the EWSHM 2022, which will take place on July 4-7, 2022, at Palermo, Italy, please go to www.EWSHM2022.com for the instruction of the EWSHM 2022 proceeding.
