The delegate must have no direct interest/shares in a pharmaceutical company or more than 25% employed by a profit-making organisation. If you are unclear about your student status, please contact Prof. Laurent Servais on [email protected] for guidance.

Non-member students will be asked to provide a scan of a valid student ID and a letter from their course supervisor confirming they have an ongoing student project and the details (maximum of one side of A4 on headed paper) and/or confirming their student status and the date until which this status is granted (the delegate must be a student at the time of the Congress not on registration submission only). The letter must confirm Undergraduate, Basic or Medical Student, Master, PhD student, resident in training or post doc status. The letter should ideally be in English. If this is not possible, then important key words should be underlined. You will be required to upload these documents during registration.

We will of course monitor and review the situation regularly to make sure that this Industry attendance opportunity is being used fairly, and by a wide selection of industry partners and attendees, rather than dominated by a select few.
