Registration Policy

Cancellation Policy

Confirmed registrants who do not participate or who make cancellations will forfeit. Refunds will not be given for no-shows. EASTS 2023 reserves the right to cancel any event if the minimum registration is not met. In the event of an EASTS 2023 cancellation, all registration fees will be refunded. 

No-Show Policy

Acceptable papers must be presented at EASTS 2023 by the authors or via proxy. In a paper is not presented at EASTS 2023, it shall be deemed a "no-show". No-shows will be removed from post-conference distribution and will not be available on open-access publications.

Exceptions to this policy will be made in rare and unusual situations by the Organising Committee only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and that every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.

Authors of no-show papers wishing to appeal the no-show status of their paper must appeal by email to the Organising Committee no later than 14 days after the start of EASTS 2023 and must provide evidence to convincingly demonstrate that their absence was as a result of forces beyond their will and control, or that an erroneous decision was made.

The Organising Committee will make decisions on appeals based on the supporting evidence provided. Failure to meet the appeals deadline will automatically result in the rejection of the appeal. Possible evidence for exceptions includes medical documents, death notices, and other official documents supporting the appeal.
