Steps to register and participate at SPEA7

  • The SPEA7 management platform is prepared for online invoice emission. The correct accounting data should be fulfilled in the SPEA7 registration platform (name of the legal organization receiving the invoice and the corresponding address and tax number) in order to avoid possible errors during the invoice emission process.
  • Abstract submission is only possible after your online registration in SPEA7.
