Due to the rapid global spread of COVID-19 and the unpredictable evolution of this health emergency, the ICLP Scientific Committee together with the Local Organizer of  ICLP – SIPDA 2021 reviewed the risk of organizing the  ICLP – SIPDA 2021 in September 2020. After thorough evaluation of the situation, it was agreed to postpone the event by a year. Since the XVI International Symposium on Lightning Protection (SIPDA) was scheduled to be held in Fall 2021, both organizing committees agreed to held a joint ICLP/SIPDA conference in Fall 2021. This extended ICLP/SIPDA conference will allow all colleagues in the lightning community to meet in person again and share their research results. The paper submission deadline for ICLP-SIPDA has been extended to 30th March 2021. For further details please refer to the attached announcement
