</h3>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px; color: #505050;">
<p><strong>24 Jul 2020:</strong></p>
<p>The exceptional global conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic have deeply affected science operations at ESO observatories, causing an unprecedented backlog of observations for high-priority programmes, including Large Programmes. ESO is studying a variety
of measures to complete those programmes at the earliest possible time once operations are resumed, which may require the exceptional suspension of the Call for Proposals for Period 107 (April-October 2021). While the decision is not firm yet, researchers
preparing or planning to submit proposals for Period 107 should take into account that such suspension is a real possibility.</p>
