Tips for this conference
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Confirm whether you are registering as an attendee, speaker, poster presenter, exhibitor or scholarship/travel-grant applicant because deadlines can differ.
- For abstracts or papers, follow the exact theme, template, word limit, author format and publication rules from the official call.
- If travel is required, check invitation-letter timing, visa processing, accommodation and travel-support deadlines early.
- Review the agenda and speakers in advance and plan the sessions and people most relevant to your goals.
Verification notes
Official INE/UAC event site confirms 20–22 October 2026 at Palais des Congrès, an active attendee registration form and the published early/standard category tiers. The abstract deadline is already past; attendee registration is still actionable. The pricing-period cutoff is not stated.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
