Arrival at the venue

Note that there are two buildings with the same address, and that our conference will take place on the ‘Monod’ site.  

Please make your way to the main entrance of the Charles Mérieux Amphitheater and Atrium when you arrive at the venue. You will see the EACR registration desk and an EACR banner immediately inside the main entrance. You can register from 11:30 CET on Tuesday 18 March. Once registered you will be given your conference badge and pocket programme. If you notified us of any dietary requirements, these will be listed on the back of your badge in both English and French. Please ensure you always wear your name badge while you're at the conference. We aim to recycle as many badges as possible and so it would be helpful if you could hand yours to the EACR staff after use. 

You are welcome to leave your coat and luggage in the luggage storage area located behind the registration desk, but please note that this is an unsupervised area, and personal items are left there at your own risk. 

Poster presenters can display their poster on their assigned board as soon as they are registered. The boards are 90cm wide by 140cm tall (portrait) and posters should be no larger than 85cm wide by 135cm tall (portrait). Please find your designated poster board (the correct poster number will be in the corner of each board) and attach your poster. You can display your poster on your assigned board from 11:30am on Tuesday 18 March. The poster must be taken down from 10:15am on Thursday 20 March. Materials to attach your poster will be provided for you.

Digital Abstracts and Posters

We’re working to reduce the environmental impact of our conferences, which is why we’re providing as much information as we can digitally. Please note that we are no longer providing notebooks at our conferences.  

The pocket programme you’ll receive contains the scientific programme and an index of poster titles. All the speaker and poster abstracts, as well as optional digital posters, are available in our searchable Digital Abstracts and Posters area.
