REGISTRATION AND EXPENSES

Abstract status notifications will be sent to all submitters by end of May/early June 2026. Abstract presenting authors will be required register by the deadline provided in the notification. After the deadline, presenting authors who have not paid their registration fees by the deadline will have their abstract withdrawn and be excluded from the programme as well as from the SIUJ. No exceptions will be granted.

  • Presenting Authors with moderated presentations (including Residents’ Forum) must register for the in-person meeting.
  • Should a moderated poster presenting author register for the virtual-only meeting, their abstract status will be modified to an unmoderated presentation.
  • We encourage all Presenting Authors, regardless of presentation type to register for the in-person congress. However, for unmoderated presentations, if travel restrictions will not allow in person attendance, registration for virtual attendance is required. 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.
