The registration system is Etouches, which is operated by JpdL, on behalf of ISME. This is a different system than the abstract submission system, so you need to create a new account to register.
Payment
JpdL vouches for the safety of your personal data (verified secured website). Please note that when you opt to pay by creditcard, your card will be debited within 24 hours.
Visa
Delegates are advised to arrange their own visa to attend the meeting. ISME will aid you with the application procedure by providing you with invitation letters, to be found on our website, but ISME will not mediate with embassies.

Participants are advised to arrange their own personal travel and health insurance.
Force majeure: ISME is not liable if it fails to comply with the delegate's obligations and expectations in case such failure is a result of either natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, fire etc. for which no one can be held responsible, acts of violences (wars, riots, terrorism) or performance failures of parties outside the control of ISME (subcontractors, transport problems, etc.).
Participants accompanied by minors (under 16) are fully liable for their guests. ISME does not claim any responsibility whatsoever concerning underage visitors.
