REGISTRATION

We are happy to announce that the ERAD2022 conference will be held in Switzerland from 29 August to 2 September.

Because of COVID19, we have opted for a fully hybrid format: participants have the possibility to attend either remotely or onsite in Locarno.

If you are sure to join ERAD2022 at least virtually, you are asked to register for the ONLINE participation.

The ONSITE UPGRADE option provides the participants the opportunity to upgrade their registration for their onsite presence during the summer.

Participants that are already sure to come to ERAD2022 in Locarno can select directly the ONLINE + ONSITE UPGRADE.

ERAD2022 has reserved a budget to support young researchers from institutions with limited travel budget. In addition, the Swiss Academy of Sciences scnat is sponsoring the travelling, accommodation and registration costs for one student. Applicants are asked to check the box for the “Reduced Registration Fee Program” in the abstract payment form, and submit a curriculum vitae including birth date, a scientific summary, and a motivation letter for the registration fee reduction signed by the head of the institute or employer to erad2022@meteoswiss.ch by 15 April 2022. You can download the template for the scientific summary in the abstract section of the ERAD website. The scientific summary will remain internal to the evaluation committee. If you intend to submit also an extended abstract, which will be public, you can of course use the same text and figures as in the scientific summary, but note the templates are different.
