Conference Registration Fees
*Please read your registration confirmation email carefully as it contains important information with additional details and links.*
Registration fees for members CURRENT on their dues is lower! JOIN/RENEW
The conference registration fee covers the following services: all honorary and plenary lectures, all symposia, poster sessions, lunch & coffee breaks, conference material, and the business meeting (if a current member). Attendance at the Welcome Event (+ 33€ per person), Farewell Event (+ 66€ per person) and lunch tours are at an additional cost to the conference registration fees. Information to register and pay for these special events is found in your registration confirmation email.
The password to access the Accommodations and Hotel page is provided AFTER you register for the meeting. This information is found in your registration confirmation email.
The reservation and booking of hotel accommodation lies within the sole responsibility of the participants – and neither the local organizers nor the International Society for Serotonin Research can be held responsible for any problems with the reservation or booking of rooms. Also, questions and queries regarding this matter will not be addressed by either the ISSR Leadership or Local Organizing Committee.
We carefully negotiated rates for hotels that are within walking distance of the venue. We selected hotels to meet a range of budgets (e.g., higher and lower) - all are of a reasonable to exceptional standard. The allocation of room blocks is intended solely to (i) secure rooms for the attendees and (ii) negotiate reduced room rates. The rooms will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Abstract Submissions for Posters or Oral Presentations
Abstracts accepted for short talks will also be programmed as a poster presentation.
The Abstract Submission portal is provided AFTER you register for the meeting. The submission link can be found in your registration confirmation email. Submit by January 17, 2025
Travel Awards for Students and Postdocs
ISSR offers Travel grants to Students and Postdocs to defray some of the costs to attend the biennial meeting. Applicants need to submit an abstract as first author to be eligible for support to attend the meeting. Application Deadline is January 5, 2025. Membership in ISSR is encouraged but not required.
All travel award applicants register for the meeting for the abstract handling fee of 60€. Please note that after the decision on the award (~February 1, 2025), applicants who were not successful will have to pay the outstanding registration fees if they still wish to attend the meeting. They will still be able to benefit from the Early Bird price.
The amount of the travel award depends upon the region and will be paid after the meeting, based on the receipts of the expenses (eligible costs are: travel, accommodation in Vienna, ground transportation). Please refer to the exact amounts per region: Americas, Africa, Asia & Oceania: up to USD 2000, Europe: up to EUR 800, Austria (exclude Vienna): up to EUR 600.
