Registration

The registration fees of the SOE 2025 Congress are kept at a reasonable level, despite the steep rise in costs seen in recent years.  Please note that all registration fees are in euros and exclude VAT.

VAT will be applied at invoice point and may be recoverable by an institution/organisation in line with own country directives. Rates are shown in whole numbers and will be varying to two decimal places on the registration form.

The Suturing Courses and Wet Labs have limited space, advance registration is therefore recommended.  The Suturing Courses and Wet Labs are available at additional costs.
