The Conference registration fees are individual and apply to participants belonging to institutions that are registered with A.I.S.Re as collective members. For the first five members, participation in the Conference is free of charge. The fee of 1,300 euros is charged to the institution that registers as a collective member and communicates the names of the five free of charge participants and the additional participants that will pay the conference registration fee. The representative of the Collective Member will be responsible for communicating the names.

Registration is carried out individually by all the members of the collective member on the Aisre portal (www.aisre.it/login) but payment of the conference registration fee can be made either individually or through the administration of one’s own institution.

Administrations can request a debit note to the treasurer writing to tesoreria@aisre.it.

The contact persons of the collective member undertake to organise all enrollments through their administration at the same time.
