Registration fees are in USD for all in-person and virtual registrations. Certificates of participation will be available on-line following the conference for registered delegates who actively participated.
For a variety of reasons, ISCB/GLBC strongly prefers that scientific research accepted for oral presentation be presented in-person at the conference venue. We understand that some presenters will have valid reasons to avoid in-person attendance. ISCB will grant remote presentation options for reasons associated with maternity/paternity leave, care for a family member, personal/medical disability, sickness, financial hardship, or potential visa problems. If your research is accepted for oral presentation and you are unable to present in person, ISCB/GLBC requires notification at the time of acceptance and no later than April 12, 2024. You will be asked during your confirmation of participation to confirm your in-person participation. If unable to participate you will need to request a waiver by writing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Talks will be broadcast live through the virtual platform for participants.
All virtual talk presenters will be required to provide a pre-recorded talk in advance of the conference. The pre-recorded talk will be used in case of any unforeseen circumstances that prevent a live presentation by the presenter.
All posters, virtual or in person, are required to submit a brief pre-recorded video and pdf of their poster to the virtual platform. Failure to upload these files may result in revocation of in-person poster acceptance.
Registration Fellowships
GLBIO is pleased to offer conference (travel and registration) fellowships to any member in good standing with priority going to members from low or middle income countries as well as students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the GLBIO 2024 conference. Funding sources for Fellowships are very limited and we regret that we are not able to fund all applicants. The conference organizers are committed to providing support to as many eligible applicants as possible. Fellowship consideration is based on membership, accepted work to GLBIO 2024, and country economic status based on World Bank rankings.
