Before applying for the Reduced Registration Fee (RRF), please carefully read the below “Conditions to Apply” and the “Mandatory Criteria”, to familiarise yourself with the application requirements, deadline, motivation letter details and procedures.

Conditions to apply

  • Only one application per person can be submitted
  • Group or Third-Party applications/bookings will not be considered and / or cancelled
  • Each successful applicant must pay for their own RRF ticket; RRF for successful applicants must not be paid, sponsored or managed by companies, institutions, travel agencies or any other party. If a successful applicant receives the support of another party, they will automatically lose the advantage of the lower registration fee
  • The selection of eligible RRF applications is based on a first-come, first-served basis (provided that the application has been successfully selected and the fee has been paid). This means that the available category might be sold out before the published deadlines. Please allow sufficient time in order to submit your RRF application
  • If places are still available, RRF applications can be submitted by Wednesday 22 April 2026
  • The notification of a successful or unsuccessful application will be provided within 10 working days

Mandatory criteria

A meaningful motivation letter written in English must be submitted to validate the RRF application. The motivation letter needs to be 150-300 words, specifying the reason(s) behind your motivation to attend the event.

EADV active members

  • Priority access to the RRF application until Wednesday, 4 February 2026
  • Eligible to receive an RRF ticket up to 3 times in their lifetime without submitting an abstract
  • After 3 times, it is possible to apply again only if an abstract has been submitted for the event.

Non members

  • Application is possible starting from Thursday, 5 February 2026 only (if places are still available)
  • Eligible to apply for an RRF once in their lifetime. To be eligible to receive it again, they must apply for an EADV membership.

Please note

  1. Applicants who paid a regular registration fee for the event before applying for an RRF cannot be taken into consideration for the RRF for the same event, since refunds are not possible
  2. An RRF applicant is not eligible to receive the reduced fee for consecutive events. E.g.: a participant registered as an RRF recipient for the 2025 Congress in Paris is not eligible to receive it for the 2026 Symposium in Athens.
  3. A candidate applying for more than one grant (e.g. EADV Scholarship, Country Grant, etc.) can be selected only once within the same EADV Congress or Symposium
  4. A candidate finalising and paying for an RRF can no longer be awarded another grant for the same event. Therefore, any other application submitted will be automatically cancelled

Healthcare Professional definition

  1. Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals
    Access to the different areas and sessions of the Symposium depends on the Healthcare Professional status.

    As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Symposium, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the AIFP (Asociace inovativního farmaceutického průmyslu v České republice) Code of Practice.
    Please read the description below to ensure that you (or your delegates) comply with the regulations in place.

EADV members are not automatically considered Healthcare Professionals

Please select the correct status (HCP or non-HCP) during registration.

  1. Definition
    The AIFP code defines Healthcare Professionals as follows:
    “any natural person that is a member of the medical, dental, pharmacy, or nursing professions or any other person who, in the course of his or her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer a Medicinal Product and whose primary practice, principal professional address or place of incorporation is in Europe.
    For the purpose of AIFP Code, the definition of HCPs includes: any official or state employee, agency or other organization (whether in the public or private sector) that may prescribe, purchase, supply, recommend or administer Medicinal Products and any employee of a Member Company whose primary occupation is that of a practicing HCP, but excludes all other employees of a Member Company and a wholesaler or distributor of Medicinal Products.”

    Medical students     are not considered Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as Non-Healthcare Professionals.
  1. Industry sessions
    Satellite Symposia presenting data on the development, research, or other issues related to prescription medicine is restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants as indicated by the Industry Session Organizer.
    All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs.

    Industry Session organisers can limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to achieving the session’s intended purpose. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, particularly if they are not adequately related to the session’s objective and purpose.

    The industry session organiser is responsible for compliance with the session.
