- Q
- Will a "Certificate of Attendance" be provided?
- A
- Yes, we will provide a "Certificate of Attendance" and will send it to you after the congress, November 4, 2020. But before we do, we will go through log-in record of virtual session and make sure you attend the session. If we are not able to confirm your log-in record, we understand you never attend it, and in this case, since we are not able to confirm your attendance of the congress, we are not providing the "Certificate of Attendance", even if you completed registration.
- Q
- May I have a “Certificate of Presentation”?
- A
- There will be two certificates available, “Certificate of e-Poster Presentation” and “Certificate of Participation 9th IOC Residents Forum”.
The certificates will be available after congress from November 4.
For those who need the certificate, please make sure to answer questionnaires during your registration.
Please note, if the primary author does not register before the end of the registration period for the Congress, we will assume the primary author has withdrawn his/her abstract. As a result, neither the primary author nor the co-author(s) will be issued a “Certificate of Presentation”. If the primary author decides not to register, as the one officially responsible for the abstract, please explain to your co-author(s) that even though they may have registered for the Congress they will not be receiving a “Certificate of Presentation”.
