HIGHLIGHTS’26 is an event that will take on-site (barring unforeseen circumstances), and the preferred form of participation is in person. Remote attendance via a video stream will also be offered, but with limited possible interactions for these participants.
Submission for a presentation at HIGHLIGHTS’26 is open to everyone, and attendance to the conference is not a requirement. The selection procedure will not take into account in-person attendance. Authors who do not intend to attend Highlights'26 in-person must commit to this choice when submitting their talk proposal. If accepted, authors of such talk proposals will have the opportunity to share a prerecorded video of their talk, which will be made available on the conference website.
Before coming from far away, please review how your trip and international flights are contributing to climate change. We encourage you to take the train as much as possible, possibly taking the opportunity for visiting colleagues on the way and thus decomposing the travel into smaller pieces.
More generally, we encourage you to make the most of your stay. This means extending your journey to the previous and/or following weeks for more scientific activities in Vienna and around. Several initiatives are here to help you in this task:
- You can participate in the Highlights’ Collaborative Research Week (CREW, September 14 - 18) in the week after HIGHLIGHTS'26. Note that HCRW takes place at IST Austria.
- You can use the Highlights Extended Stay Support Scheme (HESSS) for finding collaborators and organising visits.
