Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
The main problem for Iranian scientists to participate in the International congresses is registration and accommodation. Due to sanctions it is very difficult to transfer money and most of us do not have credit cards. So we can not register early and benefit from early registration fee which is usually considerably lower than onsite registration. The same problem exists for hotel reservation. The University can contact with congress secretariats and explain this problem to them and ask them to register Iranian delegates with the early registration fee , which would be paid on site. |
|
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
As many booking sites for hotel reservation do not charge the credit cards but only need them for reservation guarantee, it will be very helpful if the University prepares a credit card for itself and use it for hotel reservation of congress speakers. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
