FAQ
Until when can I register?
We will close registration on September 5th 23.59 CEST. Late registrants are required to contact us at egi2022@guarant.cz and we will look at availability on individual basis.
When does the conference start and end?
The official opening of the conference is on Tuesday, with a plenary starting at 12.00 CEST, followed by a lunch. The last sessio of the main conference ends on Thursday at 18.30 CEST
There are several workshops and co-located events happening on Monday and Tuesday morning, as well as on Friday (until 15.00 CEST). Although these are not part of the formal programme, you will be able to enjoy the full conference features, such as coffee breaks and lunches.
I want to register for a Kick-Off meeting but not for the main conference.
Kick-Off meetings are internal project meetings intended for project partners.The Kick-Off meetings are free of charge for participants. You should have received an invitation from your project office to register with a confirmation code. You need to enter this code in order to proceed! If you think you need to attend this meeting but did not receive a code, please contact your project office.
On the first page of the submission form, you can simply select the Kick-Off meetings you want to attend (and enter the code) and press 'continue'. You will then be allowed to register without any payment. As a lunch is included, please make sure to indicate your dietary requirements.
What are the 'codes' that appear in the registration form?
Codes release features intended for specific target groups. If you haven't received a code, they are not relevant for you and you should be able to continue your registration without them.
What do I do if I need to cancel my registration?
Free cancellation is possible up until September 5th - we will refund your fee upon deduction of an administrative fee of 40 EUR.
After September 5th, a full refund is only possible upon provision of a valid medical certificate (for example, in case of COVID-19).
If you need to cancel, please contact egi2022@guarant.cz as soon as possible.
Will I be able to attend virtually?
We will offer limited hybrid functionalities for people who cannot attend in person (such as live-streaming of the plenary sessions and virtual participation in some of the sessions), but, unless we are forced to cancel the in-person event, the best experience for the conference will be to attend in person.
In case of a forced cancellation related to COVID-19 outbreak or other security reasons (mandated by the Czech Government), your registration will be transferred automatically to a virtual ticket. Your conference fee will be fully reimbursed, with the exception of a 40 EUR administrative fee - which will serve as your admission fee for the virtual conference.
What is the 'Friday Workshop day' and why is it cheaper?
On Friday, we offer a series of workshops until 13.00 CEST. You will be able to select 2 consecutive workshops after selecting this ticket type. If you have any questions about the workshops, or want to change workshop after registering, please contact us directly at egi2022@guarant.cz.
