Due to the sanitary situation linked to COVID-19 pandemic, IMDIS Steering Committee decided to postpone IMDIS 2020 conference to 2021 and thus change the name of the conference to IMDIS 2021, which is taking place online on 12-14 April 2021.

The Conference will present different systems for on-line access to data, meta-data and products, communication standards and adapted technology to ensure platforms interoperability.
