The 48th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming
Languages (POPL 2021) will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

POPL provides a forum for the discussion of fundamental principles
and important innovations in the design, definition, analysis,
transformation, implementation and verification of programming
languages, programming systems, and programming abstractions.

Events focusing on experimental and theoretical topics are welcome.

Proposals are invited for workshops and other events to be co-located
with POPL 2021. all co-located events are sponsored by SIGPLAN
(http://acm.org/sigplan/).

Workshops should be more informal and focused than POPL itself,
include sessions that enable interaction among the workshop
attendees. The preference is for one-day workshops, but other
schedules can also be considered.

Effects of the Covid-19 crises

The planning for POPL 2021 is affected by the global covid-19 crises.
POPL will take place January 17-22, 2021, as a physical, virtual, or
hybrid physical/virtual meeting. Independent of how the situation
evolves, authors and other participants will have the choice to
participate in-person or remotely at POPL 2021.

The workshop proposals should describe plans for remote participation
and in particular indicate

- if the organizers are committing to opening the workshop to remote
  participation and

- whether the workshop will take place in the event that there will
  not be an in-person POPL.

Advice and resources for enabling remote participation are available at
https://www.acm.org/virtual-conferences .
