    Payments

    Payment is possible by credit card or bank transfer. Further details about the payment procedure will be available through your personal myFISV, after registration.

    If you wish to be considered for a short talk, you should submit your abstract and make your payment not later than 27 June 2018.

    If you do not wish to be considered for a short talk, and be considered only for a poster presentation, you should submit your abstract and make your payment by 15 July 2018.

    Submitted abstracts will be discarded if the corresponding registration payment is not received within the above mentioned dates.

    Online registrations (and corresponding payments) close on 10 August 2018. After this date, only on-site registrations will be possible, at the prices indicated above. Please note that the only form of payment accepted on site is cash.

    N.B. Your registration fee depends on the effective date of payment, not when you register; please take this into consideration, especially if your administration is handling the payment through a lengthy bureaucratic procedure. Even if you register before 10 August 2018, if you don't pay within this deadline and show up for the congress, you will be charged the on-site registration fee.

    Registration fees are not refundable but they can be transferred to another participant upon approval of the Organising Committee.

     

  • This year two poster prizes will be awarded. Prize winners will be announced during the closing remarks and will receive a cash award and a certificate from FISV. Make sure to stand by your poster during your poster session!

    Guidelines for Abstracts

    Abstracts are accepted exclusively online through your personal myFISV page (you will need to register to have access to the latter).

    Only one abstract per participant is allowed. The abstract should be submitted by the presenting author only. The abstract text must be no longer than 1200 characters, spaces included (which is roughly equivalent to 200 words).

    The abstract submission deadline is 27 June 2018 to be considered for a short talk and 15 July 2018 (new deadline!) for poster only.

    Submitted abstracts will be discarded if the corresponding registration payment is not received within the above mentioned dates.

    The Scientific Committee will then review the received abstracts for oral or poster presentations. Participants will be notified of the abstract selections for oral presentations on 23 July 2018 and for poster presentations on 26 July 2018.

    During the submission procedure authors can indicate a preference for poster or oral communications and to which of the following topics the abstract is destined:
