Registration

It is a condition of acceptance of your presentation that: (1) at least one of the authors must present the paper (oral/poster/short-oral&poster) at the conference, and (2) the presenting author must make advance author registration with full reception from our Secretariat by and no later than May 18, 2023 (Strict due date) otherwise the Organizing Committee will neither be able to include the paper in the final program for presentation.

It has been the Biometal policy since 2009 that every participant (including the Organizing Committee members/Invited Speakers) attending a Biometal symposium must register and pay the author registration fees before the early bird deadline of May 25, 2023. Your understanding and cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Moreover,

1. Early Registration is strongly recommended. When the number of registrations exceeds the capacity of the venue, the deadline for registration may be advanced and the symposium registration may be closed without prior notice. Onsite Registration will not be accepted. The onsite attendees of the 15th BIOMETAL 2023 must register here, in the inclusive format. Separate registration for the event and lodging is not available. All participants must be registered with the plan offered by the Symposium, which includes registration fees, lodging, meals, coffee breaks, and all activities at a very affordable rate.

2. Virtual participation will be possible with Virtual participant registration.

Even if the Symposium will take place many months from now, we are aware that it might be impossible for some to travel to Italy to attend the Conference. Therefore, the Symposium will be presented as a HYBRID event. This means that all live presentations will be accessible to Virtual registrants as follows:

  1. Complete access to the presentation in real-time, as they are happening on-site. It will also be possible to participate in the question period with the presenters, using the Q&A function of ZOOM.
  2. We will organize ZOOM sessions so that discussions can take place with the speakers at a time period outside of the presentation schedule
  3. Traditional posters will be enhanced with pre-recorded video presentations accessible during the entire Workshop and the Symposium. Poster presenters will also be accessible for discussion using ZOOM

3. For presenting authors, once the abstract is accepted, registration must follow prior to the early bird registration deadline (May 25, 2023, strict). Accepted abstracts will be included in the program ONLY if their registration is received and paid for by the secretariat by May 25, 2023, early bird registration.
