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 ICLP2020 has reviewed the risk of organizing the ICLP 2020 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) is 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 would 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.  The paper submission deadline for SIPDA will be announced later. For further details please refer the attached announcement
