Registration
Registration for ESB 2021 is solely possible via the online registration form.
Due to the decision to hold ESB 2021 as a fully hybrid conference we have changed the registration fees for virtual participation only.
Participants who have already registered for the face-to-face fee will be contacted from the conference secretary soon. We will transfer the face-to-face fees to the virtual early fee and refund the difference. Please do not register again, you will receive a notification shortly and receive a new confirmation/invoice as well as a credit note.
The online registration system will take you step-by-step through the registration process. Upon completion of the registration, you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
Information concerning YSF workshops, bookable during the registration process, will be added later at the webpage.
