ISMB/ECCB 2019 is pleased to announce that child care services for the conference July 21 to July 25, 2019 has been arranged with profawo Basel for registered attendees’ children.

profawo Basel (to be named Familycare Basel July 1, 2019) has been the competent solution provider in Switzerland since 2000 for all questions concerning the balancing of work and family life.

During the ISMB/ECCB 2019 meeting, childcare will be offered for children aged 3 months to 12 years for registered congress delegates during the following hours:

The children will be looked after in Basel Congress Center by specialized caregivers with proven qualifications and experience. The program includes indoor activities as well as excursions and strolls (depending on the age of the children, the composition of the groups and weather conditions).

Age-appropriate food, diapers (Pampers), hygiene articles as well as age-appropriate toys, board games and DVDs will be provided by profawo Basel. Should special hygiene and care articles or a special diet be necessary for the child, we ask you to contact us at an early stage.

How to Register for Child Care Services

Children of registered ISCB conference delegates are welcome to attend the conference with their parent or guardian, as long as younger children are under the supervision of a parent or guardian at all times. Parents or guardians may bring children to educational events provided the child does not disrupt the event.

A private room is available during the conference for nursing mothers and others with sensitive personal needs. Staff at the registration desk will direct you to the room. Please note that this room is not staffed and contains tables, chairs, and a waste basket. A restroom is located nearby.
