Dear Attendees, We hope this message finds you well. We have an important update regarding the upcoming ICSR-2024 Competition <https://www.icsr2024-competition.org>. Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, we've made the decision to merge the ICSR-2024 Competition with The Innovation Village <https://innovation-village-2024.sharevent.it/it-IT> event happening in early May in Italy (May 8-9). This decision was made by the organizing committee in order to maximize the impact of the event and create a more comprehensive experience for all participants. As a result, only a part of the Competitions will be held in May, while the entire competition will be hosted within the framework of the main ICSR Conference in 2025. We understand that this change may affect those who were looking forward to visiting Naples. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we want to assure you that this merger presents a unique opportunity for collaboration and innovation. Additionally, we remind the community that Naples will be the host city for ICSR 2025, providing attendees with the opportunity to experience its rich culture and vibrant atmosphere. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you to ICSR 2025 in Naples. Kind regards Mariacarla Staffa
