Dear speakers, Dear participants,

Due to the increased requests from our colleagues and researchers to attend the conference virtually and following the official Portuguese General Direction of Health advice during this COVID pandemic, the SHO 2020 Organising Committee has decided to move to a virtual event.
The symposium will be taking place virtually on an online platform over the same dates as previously announced: 16-17th July 2020.
The Organising Committee is working collaboratively to ensure the quality of the virtual event.
The SHO 2020 will be available for receiving your presentation files in preparation for the virtual meeting.
Further details on presentations and posters will be soon announced.
Any questions, please send them to sho2020@sposho.pt

We look forward to welcoming you to SHO 2020 Virtual Symposium.

Kind regards
A. Sérgio Miguel

SHO 2020 Virtual Symposium

Postponement of SHO 2020 for reasons related to the protection against the Covid 19 virus

Dear speakers, Dear participants, Dear All,

For reasons related to the protection against the Covid 19 virus, including recommendations from the General Direction of Health and the University of Porto, the postponement of SHO 2020 was imposed on the Management Board of SPOSHO. The new dates will be 16 and 17 July 2020.

Obviously, the registrations already made are maintained. Soon, registration periods will be indicated for new participants.

We know that this decision will cause inconvenience for many and have negative financial consequences for some, but we believe it would be irresponsible to act in any other way, given current circumstances.
The health and safety of event speakers, attendees, staff, suppliers as well as that of the citizens of Porto, in general, is and must remain our top priority.

Porto, 6^th March 2020

Alberto Sérgio Miguel

SPOSHO Chairman
