Microbial Engineering IV

Conference Fees and Registration

ECI conferences are designed as fully immersive experiences, with hotel accommodations and meals included in the registration fee to foster collaboration, informal discussion, and meaningful engagement among participants. In support of this model, ECI maintains a contractual commitment with its conference hotels to provide lodging and meals for all attendees.

Conference Fees and Registration information will be available in August 2026.

Student Rates

  • ECI provides discounted registration rates for bona fide graduate students in exchange for onsite logistics support such as audio visual (AV) and speaker coordinator(s), on-site registration check-in support, microphone runners, photographers, etc.
  • ECI will email all students one week prior to the start of the conference to ask for on-site help preferences. We appreciate your participation and support!

  • New Entry/Exit System for European Union

    The European Union (EU) has introduced a new entry/exit system for travel into and out of the Schengen area that will use biometrics and facial recognition for border crossings. It replaces the manual passport-stamp system with electronic registration of entries, exits and refusals. As it is rolled in, there may be delays as biometric data is collected.
