Please note that virtual registration will give you access to the platform, but there will be no live interaction with the audience.

Abstract presenters who are not SIU members are encouraged to join, as this means a possible savings of at least €200 on registration fees.

All expenses such as registration, visa, airfare, lodging, etc. associated with the submission and presentation of an abstract are the responsibility of the presenter.
