Who Should Register, and Why?

#Cultures 2027 has two participation pathways. Select the category corresponding to the way you intend to participate in the congress.

Participation Category

Author

Select Author if you intend to submit a work, appear as a co-author or present an approved contribution.

Every author and co-author linked to a submission must create an individual account, select the Author category and complete their own registration payment.

The system permits submission while payment is pending. However, the work will only be processed and forwarded to peer review after all linked authors and co-authors have completed payment.

Each paid Author registration covers authorship or co-authorship in up to two submitted works.

Participation Category

Attendee

Select Attendee if you wish to participate without submitting or co-authoring a work.

Attendee registration provides access to the online congress programme, including keynote sessions, plenary discussions, thematic sessions and other scheduled activities.

Attendees may receive a participation certificate according to the congress attendance and certification rules.

Attendee registration remains open until 5 April 2027.

Important for Authors and Co-authors

Submission and Payment Are Separate Steps

The congress system permits an Author to create an account, select the participation category and submit a work while payment remains pending.

Submission does not mean that the work has entered the scientific evaluation process.

A submission will only be processed and sent to peer review after the registration payment of every author and co-author linked to the work has been confirmed.
