F.A.Q

After clicking on “Register”, it will have you log into the AESOP Website, or create an account if you do not have one, in order to register for the congress. Creating an account is necessary to register for the Congress. There are various registration fees, depending on AESOP Members, Non-Members, PhD Workshop, Specials, Online Participation, and Social Events. Click the link here to check out the various registration fees. The fees will also show up when registering for the congress and it is time to pay the registration fees.

The registration for the payment on Aesop website is a different process and a different platform from the one used for the abstract submission (sometimes there have been confusion about these two processes).  You need to register to the Aesop registration platform.  

If you already have an Aesop account, and you forgot your name or password, there are links to retrieve them. 

No. As you can see on the website the one-day participation is only for participants who are not in the Congress program. You can find further information on the website. 

When registering for the congress, the registration fees and payment options will become available to you. You can pay the registration fees with either a credit or debit card, with any type of electronic money, and/or a bank transfer. These options are available when completing registration for the congress. 

For cancellation and refunds for registration fees, you will only receive a full refund before April 15, 2024. After April 15, 2024, no refund for registration fees will be given. Only in situations of force majeure will a full refund be granted.
