]]> Beware of predatory/fake ICUAS conference site! https://www.uasconferences.com/2020_icuas/beware-of-predatory-fake-icuas-conference-site/ Tue, 01 Sep 2020 10:46:45 +0000 https://www.uasconferences.com/2020_icuas/?p=1200 An organization known as “WASET” is a well-known (see: Wikipedia) predatory academic publisher, which “organizes” conferences with names copied from actual conferences organized by reputable scientific groups and organizations.

They are now claiming to organize ICUAS 2021 in May 2021 in Amsterdam. On behalf of ICUAS Association, would like to tell you that this is fake.

Web of Trust (WoT) marks this site as “scam”.

Please ignore them and inform your colleagues and students about WASET (more info on wasetwatch.wordpress.com) and other predatory journals and conferences.

The next edition(s) of real ICUAS conference(s) will be linked from the official ICUAS Association web site and use the registered Internet domain uasconferences.com.
