To allow sufficient time for registration and security procedures in the European Parliament, the participants are recommended to reserve 30 minutes for the necessary procedures. There is also a possibility to pick up the entrance badges on 24 November from 14:00 pm until 19:00 pm. We strongly advice those who can to use this opportunity in order to ensure smooth registration on the day of the conference.

For identification and security reasons, all participants are requested to wear their identification badges at all times during the sessions and at social functions.

Kindly note that processing new badges for non-registered participants or replacing lost/forgotten ones can be time-consuming.
