Student rates are available to all students including PhD students. The organisers reserve their right to request a proof of student status.

The conference day programme is very intense and does not leave much time for networking and discussions. We therefore sincerely recommend taking part in the Evening Networking Event of the 2nd conference day, 14 September (a dinner cruise on Lake Geneva). Accompanying persons will be welcome to register for this event only.

Conditions

Full payment by credit card (Visa or Eurocard/Mastercard or Swiss PostFinance Card; Paypal is also possible) at registration, through secured Swisspost online payment service (EPFL Payonline) - or by bank transfer.

All participants - authors and non-authors alike - are required to register and to pay the registration fees. Please note that by submitting a paper the authors agree that at least one of them will attend the conference. Papers for which no author has registered and paid the participation fee by 15 July will not be published even if they have been accepted by the editorial board.

Cancellation of a conference registration must be made in writing and emailed to cisbat@epfl.ch. Paid registration fees are refundable less a processing fee* if notification of cancellation is received (in writing) by August 12, 2023. Unexcused absence (on-site or remote) or cancellation after August 12, 2023 will result in forfeiture of the registration fee; a substitute registrant will be accepted however. The conditions apply to both on-site and online participants as well as for the case that the conference should be held as a virtual event.

*) Processing fee: 10 % of the total amount paid.
