The next edition of IFL will be organized by Fritz Henglein and his team at end of August 2022 in Copenhagen. We expect that this can be a physical event in Denmark.
The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2021 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming.
This year's edition of IFL explicitly sollicits original work concerning applications of functional programming in industry and academia. These contributions will be reviewed by experts with an industrial background.
Topics of interest to IFL include, but are not limited to:

Following IFL tradition, IFL 2021 will use a post-symposium review process to produce the formal proceedings.
Before the symposium authors submit draft papers. These draft papers will be screened by the program chairs to make sure that they are within the scope of IFL. The draft papers will be made available to all participants at the symposium. Each draft paper is presented by one of the authors at the symposium.
After the symposium every presenter is invited to submit a full paper, incorporating feedback from discussions at the symposium. Work submitted to IFL may not be simultaneously submitted to other venues; submissions must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. The program committee will evaluate these submissions according to their correctness, novelty, originality, relevance, significance, and clarity, and will thereby determine whether the paper is accepted or rejected for the formal proceedings. We plan to publish these proceedings in the International Conference Proceedings Series of the ACM Digital Library, as in previous years.

(For LaTeX users, start your document with \documentclass[format=sigconf]{acmart}.)
Note that this format has a rather long but limited list of packages that can be used.
Please make sure that your document adheres to this list.
Contributions submitted for the draft paper deadline must be between two and twelve pages long. For the final proceedings twelve pages (excluding references) is the hard upper limit. Especially application papers might be considerably shorter.
The submission Web page for IFL21 is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifl21.
The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honoured article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.
