Registration
Please register as soon as possible. If your journey is long (Geneva, Graubünden especially), please feel free to choose option 1 on top. This includes one extra night from Thursday, including dinner. To maintain the spirit of the meeting, the organisers would like participants to stay until Sunday. If you wish to leave on Saturday, please let us know and make sure to check out before noon. There is no discount for early departures.

No accompanying persons, children this year
Due to the fragile situation, the SAFE-ID Board decided that no accompanying persons or children will be admitted this time.

Covid-19 safety concept
Onsite measures will be communicated ahead of the meeting.

What is new in Engelberg?
Apart from the brand new meeting room at the historic Kursaal, participants will stay in 5 different hotels. All hotels are 5 minutes walking distance maximum from the Kursaal and the railway station. We have 3-star and 4-star hotels; participants choose their category at registration. We will allocate rooms on our side and inform participants before the meeting. 

Breakfast will be served in the respective hotel, lunch will be at the Kursaal itself, and dinner will be at the Bellevue-Terminus hotel for everybody.

Participants arriving on Thursday Jun 16
Please join at 19:30 for a welcome dinner for speakers, SAFE-ID & SSI Boards, the Scientific Board and invited participants arriving earlier. Please plan to arrive in Engelberg on June 16 2022, no later than 18:53.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Engelberg.
