** ATTENTION ** UPDATE **
Due to the unprecedented number of registrations received last week, we were forced to prioritise conference registrations of Presenters (i.e. abstract submitters) during the last day of the Early registration period.
As that deadline has now passed, and as announced previously, we will be reopening conference registrations for NON-Presenters (i.e. users that did not submit an abstract this year) with the early registration fee, for 48h or until they run out, to give an opportunity to those that did not manage to register before the closure. However, the remaining number of spaces is EXTREMELY LOW, and they will be available on a first-come first-serve basis once open. Priority is now given to ECS members. Hence, only ECS members will be able to register at this time, i.e. the “early registration fee for non members” will not be available. If you are not a member already, you can purchase your membership together with your conference registration.
Conference registration for NON-Presenters will open on the 3rd April at 11:00 CET (Brussels time).
At the same time (3rd April, 11:00 CET), anyone will be able to register for workshops, provided they are not already at full capacity, independently of being, or not being, registered to the main conference.
As stated on the abstract submission page, in notification emails to authors, and in recent reminders, abstract submitters that had their abstract accepted and did not register by the early registration deadline will unfortunately not have their presentations included in the scientific programme.
