All participants have to register before visiting any sessions. You will receive your name badge, program booklet and dinner voucher (if registered) and can pay the conference fee.

Important: Without name badge access to the sessions will be refused.

We recommend the possibility to register already on Tuesday afternoon. Thus you can visit the sessions on Wednesday directly without any delay.

Lecture rooms

All lecture rooms are equipped with beamer, notebook and projectors for transparencies. You can bring your presentation on USB-stick or CD. By way of an exception you can use your own mobile computer (don't forget any necessary adapters).

Postersession

The postersession will take place in the halls during lunch breaks from Wednesday to Friday. Please bring your own fixing material (drawing pins, adhesive tape). The poster boards will be numbered according to this program so any participant will easily find "his" board. All posters are expected to be presented on all three days.
Maximum dimensions: A0 portrait

Coffee breaks and lunch

The coffee tables and lunch buffets are placed in the halls near the postersession (included in the conference fee).

Conference Dinner

The dinner will be held on Thursday evening, Sept. 3, at the "Villa Blanka" in Innsbruck. A bus tranfer from the conference to the restaurant and back to the city will be organised. The price is CHF 60.- / EUR 40.- per person (including one meal, drinks and bus transfer). Upon registration you can choose between 3 different meals (one of them vegetarian).
