These considerations included the inputs f rom the membership (the survey conducted at the time of abstract submission demonstrated that the ICASS attendees will be amenable to either in-person or online option), local hosts (NARFU and local health authorities), visa/ travel experts and IASSA partners. Given the continuing uncertainties with the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and international travel restricti ons, we determined that the following hybrid format will be the best option :\n \n -IN-PERSON PLENARIES AND ROUND TABLES: June 15-16 (arrival on June 14, limited to 150-200 attendees as per health authorities). All in-person plenaries will be recorded and broadcast online.\n The in-person component will take place in Arkhangelsk and will be by special invitation only. The limited number of participants will ensure that we follow safety protocols and adhere to travel and visa restrictions. The ICASS X Organizing Committe e will issue the invitations only to the participants of the plenary panels and round tables organized by the Committee. These panels will also includ e virtual participants. Preference will also be given to early career and I ndigenous scholars (including those receiving travel awards). We apologize in advance to those who cannot be invited due to the limited capacity under the public health rules.\n -ONLINE SCIENCE PROGRAM: June 17-20 (all sessio ns, paper and poster presentations, virtual exhibits will take place online ) \n -ONLINE GENERAL ASSEMBLY: June 17\n -ONLINE ELECTIONS: IASSA Presiden tial and Council elections will be conducted online on June 17-19.
