Registration Information

Short course selection is completed within the main conference registration process.

Due to administrative requirements associated with hosting the meeting at the University of Oslo, conference registration fees are paid to the University of Oslo, while short course registration fees are paid directly to SMDM. These payments will be processed as part of the overall registration workflow.

Minimum Enrollment Requirement

Each short course requires a minimum of five registered participants in order to be offered.

If fewer than five participants register for a course, the course director may elect to cancel the course prior to the meeting.
