REGISTRATION
Registration
The registration is divided in two steps.
​
Step 1) fill the online form below where you can request a talk to present your work in the conference. Given the nature of the conference, there will be no possibility to present posters. First deadline for abstract submission is already passed but we are still receiving abstracts. Abstracts received after November 28th are put in a waiting list and may still be accepted.
​
Step 2) fill a separate pdf form that can be downloaded by clicking here and send it to the e-mail included at the end of the form. This form is used to submit the full payment (registration fee and accommodation). A room can not be booked without this form. A first payment of 250 EUR per person (including children) needs to be made to secure the booking of the room by December 15th. After this date, neither room availability nor reduced rate can be guaranteed. If you are traveling with your family or a guest, use the pdf form in Step 2 to request accommodation for your family/guest. Children (under age 17) are expected to pay only port fees and taxes (starting at 270 EUR).
Each participant will receive two bills. One for conference fee (650 EUR) and one for accomodation (remaining balance). Guests will receive only one bill for the total cost (upon request).
​
Please, check the cancellation policy at the bottom of page 2 in the pdf form from Step 2. It is recommended that you book your own travel and cancellation policy.
