1. How can I register for the congress?

(Link to the Registration page)

All the participants have to register for the WEHC 2022 online. You must click here (cf. link Azur Colloque software). Once on the Registration Page, you have to click the button “Pre-record” and fill in the page, choosing your category (Regular or Student) and the extras. The Welcome Breakfast, Keynotes at Pullman Docks and Final drink are free, but the registration to each event is mandatory. We need to know how many people will participate in each activity.

After that, you will receive an automatic email to inform you of your registration status. After this step, a member of the Organizational Committee will validate your application. At that moment, you will receive an email with a link to complete your registration.

If you are participating in the congress online, click “NO” to each activity on site.

2. What are the fees?

Due to the sanitary situation, we cannot commit yet to the congress fees. They will be revealed when registration opens in late 2021. If you want to get the information as soon as possible, please subscribe to our newsletter

3. Can my institution directly pay the congress’ fees? 

Yes, but your institution still has to pay by credit card using the Paybox link.

4. Can I participate online? 

Yes, you will be able to participate in the conference online. The fee will be smaller than the regular fee. As usual, you also have to register for each session in which you want to participate.

Each session must have someone (one of the session organizers or their representative) on site in order to take place.

All the sessions (around 200), General Public Events and Plenary Sessions will be hosted on the WEHC 2022 website. You will find a presentation of each session in your personal space named My Agenda.

 You will have to pay the difference between your original payment and the cost of on-site registration at the time you make the switch.

Yes, of course. You have to register here (link to Registration Page). You must click here (cf. link Azur Colloque software) and choose the option (regular/ student/ online/on-site). After your registration, you should select the sessions in which you will participate.

7. I am a speaker or a Session organizer How do I submit information about my session?

As a Session organizer

The list of Session organizers (name, first name, email) is uploaded to the platform from a file provided by the WEHC 2022 organization. An invitation email is sent from the platform to invite them to log in and complete their sessions. The Session organizer receives an email with the program login information to complete and manage its speakers.

The tab "Congress Menu" will appear once you are connected as the Session organizer or speaker (this access is the same for all profiles; only the content changes).

The Session’s organizer must edit the full information of the Session under his/her responsibility. The first step is to enter the session data.

As a Speaker

Speakers have to wait for the Session organizers to enter the session data. Further down the page, there is a section in which editing the paper is allowed only by the person concerned, the Speaker him/herself. As the Speaker is not responsible for the organization of the session, he/she cannot modify the Session’s general content, but he/she can update or modify the information of his/her own paper to present.

A Speaker can invite other Speakers. Once logged in, a Speaker must fill in the title of his/her paper, add in any supplementary information about the co-authors or speakers themselves, complete the description and add in the corresponding PDF documents, etc. Once these actions have been completed, he/she must validate his or her intervention.

The Organizing Committee aims to offer around 60 scholarships (of 1,500 euros maximum each) to those who find it challenging to finance their participation in the Congress. Each grant aims to cover transport, accommodation and Congress registration costs. The IEHA will award twenty grants (20); the remaining forty (40) will be financed by the Organizing Committee.

All junior and senior scholars who have difficulty in getting support from their university or research unit are eligible for application of this grant. The WEHC 2022 Organizing Committee will evaluate both the quality of the application and the cost differential between that in the candidate's country of origin or professional practice and that in France. Each candidate should submit his/her session or communication project (max. 3,000 signs), the acceptance letter of a Session’s Organizer and a short CV (max. 3,000 signs) on the WEHC 2021 website.

The Third Call for grants is open until 30 November 2021.

The results of the scholarships for sessions will be communicated by 20 December 2021.

 The results of the scholarships for posters and digital humanities will be communicated by 22 January 2022.

For applying, please fill the form on the “Third Call for Grants”, https://callwehc2021.sciencesconf.org/
