Information regarding workshop registration will be added on the website and sent to the participants via email after the registration deadline.
Which positions are included in the FJS registration fee?
The registration fee includes access to the scientific program, conference dinner, welcome reception and workshops. For a printed version of the book of abstracts and the social activities on Friday afternoon, additional fees apply.
When does the conference fee need to be paid?
After registration, you will receive an email invoice to the mail address you provided in the registration process. The conference fee has then to be paid to the bank account stated in the invoice directly. For further information, please consult the General Terms and Conditions of GDCh.
What is an "active participation" at the conference?
An "active participation" includes the presentation of a poster or an oral talk during the FJS. It is also possible to register for the conference without active participation.
How do I know if my oral or poster presentation has been accepted?
You will be informed shortly after the abstract deadline, if your contribution has been accepted. In case of poster presentations, we can accept a large number of contributions and your abstract should be directly accepted.
For oral presentations, only a limited number of slots is available. If you applied for an oral presentation, you will be informed shortly after the abstract deadline (and before the registration deadline), whether you are selected with one of the oral presentation slots. If you have not been considered for an oral presentation, you will still have the option to present a poster of your research instead.
Can I ask for a specific slot for a poster session or oral presentation session?
For organizational reasons, it is not possible to reserve a specific slot for your talk or poster presentation. However, in urgent cases, exceptions might be arranged. Please get in contact with fjs-program@jcf.io if you are unable to attend a certain session or have specific requests.
Do I have to pay travel and accommodation by myself or are there any financing options?
Travel and accommodation have to be organized and paid by the participants. Hotel and travel information can be found on our website. The Deutsche Bahn is offering special conditions for GDCh events. In certain cases, you can apply for a GDCh partial scholarship for young scientists for funding.
