Registrations

The online registration form will ask for your general registration information. Additionally, you will be given the option to register an accompanying person to join you at the Conference Dinner (for in person registration only). We would also like to estimate the carbon footprint resulting from travel to the SPARC GA and therefore, we will collect some additional information regarding your travel plans. All registrations (and therefore the collection of the registration fees) are being managed by the University of Reading.

Unfortunately, given the current COVID restrictions and quarantine rules within China, it will be unlikely that anyone from outside of China will be able to travel into China and attend the GA in Qingdao. However, we expect that people within China will be able to travel without any restrictions so the hub will remain part of the SPARC GA.

Given the current COVID pandemic and the uncertainties and changes it might bring we encourage anyone attending the SPARC GA in person to consider refundable tickets/accommodation. We will keep the SPARC GA website updated on the COVID situation.
