General Information
The conference is planned as an on-site event. Active online participation is not planned. However most of the talks will be streamed and are available to the public afterwards. See https://www.conferences.uni-hamburg.de/event/256/page/161-online-webinar for details.
Registration Process
The registration process is split into two parts for technical reasons. You need a valid SSO login from your home institution or an Indico account. The login process will guide you if you need an account or not. If your institution login does not work, please choose Indico account as option. You might have to create a new one.
First step: Register yourself as a participant with the correct form from the Registration menu. We ask participants outside the University of Hamburg to pay a registration fee of 160€. It will cover participation and catering during the conference. Members of the University of Hamburg will be covered by internal funding. Please do not make any payments before we ask you to do so.
Second step: If you want to contribute a poster, please send us your contribution by filling out the form Submit Contribution. Please fill in the title and abstract and mark the correct person as speaker/presenter. If you want to, you can select a possible upgrade to a contributed talk. We will inform you after the registration deadline if the upgrade is possible.
You can register until 10th of July. Please do not book travel and housing before we accept your registration.
Selection Process
After all registrations and contributions have been submitted we will review all contributions and motivations and decide who we will accept as a participant. We will let you know until 15th of July. Since the conference is an on-site event it is not possible to accept all registrations.

If you plan to see other parts of the city and use public transport the whole day, it might be cheaper to buy a one day ticket (6.90€ - valid from 9am to 6am of the next day, 8.20€ for the whole day). There is no stamping of tickets or ticket gates at the stations. So you just buy the ticket and start using buses and trains as well as ferries.
