The hope was to be able to hold them in person, a goal that proved not to be feasible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Thus, between the end of May and the end of July, we will have online the four National Dissemination Workshops, one for each partner country of the project, Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia, and the e-Engineering&#8217;2021 conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Information about all these events may be found on the project page and the conference page for the e-Engineering&#8217;2021 conference.
