Every taxi company can bring you to the RAI. However, to guarantee the quality of the taxi service and for logistical reasons, the RAI only allows TCA taxis on the premises to pick up visitors. Ubers are not allowed on the premises.  

Each in-person registered participant will receive a name badge upon arrival. For organisational and security reasons, we request that all participants and industry partners wear their badges at all times during the congress activities.

Individual participants and group participants with individual badge pick-up will receive a barcode closer to the congress that will allow them to scan this code and print the name badges at the onsite kiosk upon arrival to the congress venue. A QR code is also available in the ECNP app to print the badge.

For group participants with group badge pick-up, the group coordinator is responsible to collect all the badges and distribute it to their participants.

Re-print of a badge due to loss or misspelled names can be done at the registration desk at a cost of EUR 97 per badge (VAT excluded).

The congress venue is equipped with facilities for disabled persons.

It is not allowed to bring drinks or food inside the session rooms. When a session room is fully seated, it is not permitted to enter the room or stand at the back of the room due to security. We will provide an overflow room if possible.

For lost and found items, please go to the registration desk located at the main entrance.

Audio and video recording and flash photography are strictly prohibited during Congress sessions. Photography of slides is permitted only for personal reference—reproduction is forbidden. Photography of posters is allowed under similar conditions.
Camera glasses are not allowed at the Congress due to privacy risks. Wearing such devices may result in denied access to the venue, in line with current safety practices.
No professional filming crews or photographers are permitted in session rooms or poster areas, except those hired by the 38th ECNP Congress Foundation.

In the past, participants of the ECNP Congress have expressed concerns about being photographed or filmed. Because of this, persons in possession of press badge are restricted to film and photograph inside the venue at a designated location. Please note that this is discretionary of the 38^th ECNP Congress foundation, and if we receive requests from participants, or if filming/photography/recording is regarded as intrusive, then we may have to withdraw permission. Filming in the exhibition area is only allowed in the stand of the company that has ordered the filming or photography. It is not allowed to film or take photographs in the general or catering areas of the exhibition. 

ECNP recognises that our Congress participants may hold personal and political views that are deeply meaningful to them.

To ensure the Congress remains a space for open scientific exchange, we ask all participants to help maintain an atmosphere of neutrality and mutual respect. We kindly request that political statements or gestures—whether in language, clothing, or materials—be avoided during the Congress, so that all attendees feel welcome and focused on the shared mission of advancing science.

ECNP reserves the right to intervene if any activity is deemed disruptive to this environment, including restricting access to the Congress if necessary. In such cases, ECNP retains the unqualified right to withdraw access, cancel registration, or remove individuals from the Congress without refund, if their actions compromise the integrity or safety of the event.
