We a= sorry about this, but reason is that the current conditions, due to the gl= obal COVID-19 situation, has created sub-optimal work conditions for resear= chers to generate the proposals. Another reason is that we, as an industry = are in a situation with careful awareness to expenses. I hope that there is= an understanding of this decision. We will return with a new a great topic= for you to consider. So, stay tuned for news in April/May 2021.
