Portugal is part of the Schengen Area, and visa requirements for attending IH’26 depend on your nationality, with many participants exempt for short stays; check whether you need a Short‑Stay Schengen Visa and learn how to request an invitation letter if required.
IH’26 recognises that attending conferences can be challenging for participants with caregiving responsibilities. To support attendees and help make the conference more family-friendly, we will offer a childcare service pre-conference and conference days.
The conference provides an opportunity for participants who are unable to attend in person to present and engage with the community. This online component will take place on June 1, ahead of the main onsite conference (July 5–8), and will feature talks from remote presenters.
