You can register by accesing the Registration page on our website and filling up the registration form.

Unfortunately, all fees are non-refundable. If you deposit the participation fee, we will consider you a participant. 

There are 2 types of participants:

• The On-site Presenter is an author/co-author of a Scientific Paper who will take part in the IMSCB and will be present in Bucharest, during the whole period of the congress, between the 23rd and 27th of November 2022, in order to attend all mandatory events.
• The On-site Participant does not have a scientific paper and he/she will be present in Bucharest, during the whole period of the congress, between the 23rd and 27th of November 2022, in order to attend all mandatory events and to present their paper.

The On-site memberships (Participants, Presenters and Premium) are limited to 600. This number will not be increased before or after the limit is reached.

If you registered as an On-site Participant, but decided to submit an abstract after all, click the “Upgrade to Presenter account type” link in your account and follow the instructions. If you registered as an On-site/Premium Presenter, but you decide not to submit an abstract, you will automatically become an On-site/Premium Participant.

Once you have filled in the required fields and clicked “Register”, you will receive an account confirmation e-mail. Then you will have to log in with the established email and password. Once you are logged in, you will be required to complete the rest of your personal data in the ”My Account” section of our website, such as your faculty and your year of study. Then, you need to deposit the participation fee after picking up the participation package that suits you best.

Unfortunately, sometimes e-mails end up in your spam, so don’t forget to check there, too. If you did not receive it, you should contact us via: contact@imscbucharest.com

If you forgot your password, you should click the “Forgot Password” link in the “My account” section. If you forgot what e-mail address you used to register, you should contact us at contact@imscbucharest.com. 

We strongly recommend that you do not create more than 1 account, but if you do, you should contact us via contact@imscbucharest.com and inform us regarding which one of them you would like to keep. Each participant must have only one account at the end of the Registration period. 

If you provided us incorrect information, you should check your account details and see if the specific fields are editable or not. If they are, you can correct them yourself. If they are not, you should contact us via contact@imscbucharest.com. In case you wrote an incorrect e-mail address, you will not be able to use your account because you will not receive an confirmation e-mail. Therefore, in this case you should also contact us via contact@imscbucharest.com.

The referral code can be an unique ID belonging to each one of the IMSCB Ambassadors. It is our way of keeping track of how many participants found out about the IMSCB through one of our Ambassadors. It can also be a discount or promotional code received from our team. It is not a mandatory field, so you should leave it blank if you did not receive one.
