Details on the fees are available at: https://cest.gnest.org/cest2025/registration-fees.

C. Organisation-level participation

CEST2025 provides the participants with the opportunity to organize workshops or project meetings. We encourage you to take an active role in shaping the conference by proposing and organizing your own workshops, project meetings, special sessions or side events. These can provide additional platforms for networking, collaboration, and sharing specialized knowledge. If you are interested in organizing a session, please contact us at cest@gnest.org with your proposal.

D. Invitation letters

You can download an invitation letter from the Conference Submission platform.

After logging in to your account, please click on “My invitation letters” on the left-side menu. Please keep in mind that not all authors are eligible for an invitation letter and being an author of a paper does not make you eligible for receiving an invitation. To make an author eligible for an invitation letter, please assign them as a "Presenting author" or a "Participant" through the edit screen of your paper. If you do not have access to do it because it is under review or accepted, please contact us.
