Payment

The early bird discount applies to payments received until 31 July 2026. Registrations will remain open until 18 September 2026 at the regular price.
N.B. Payments must be received within each deadline indicated (if you are paying by bank transfer or through your administration, please ensure that it is initiated in due time).

Payment is possible by credit card or bank transfer. You must complete the registration process, including selecting the payment method and providing all the required information. This step is mandatory to finalize your registration. Further details about the payment procedure is available through your personal myRNA2026 area.

Invoices or receipts (for VAT exempt payments) will be issued and sent to participants after payment (except for PA invoice).

FOR ABCD/SIBBM MEMBERS

After payment, ABCD will issue a receipt indicating VAT exemption under Article 4 of DPR 633/72, addressed to the participant. ABCD/SIBBM members cannot request an invoice. Payments for congress registrations by members, as well as membership fees, are considered part of the association's core activities and are therefore not subject to VAT. Membership requires registration with either ABCD or SIBBM and being up to date with membership payments through 2026 (the year of the congress). For ABCD members, the membership fee may be paid concurrently with the congress registration fee. If a receipt addressed to your organization is required, you must explicitly request it by contacting ABCD at segreteria@abcd-it.org or webmaster@abcd-it.org.

FOR OTHER PARTICIPANTS – INDIVIDUALS OR "PRIVATE" LEGAL ENTITIES

Before processing the payment, please determine wheter you have specific billing requirements. Please decide to whom your registration costs must be billed to and make sure that you have all the required information: address, VAT number or fiscal code (codice fiscale, for Italians only), etc.

After payment, ABCD issues an electronic invoice based on the payment form details. ABCD will be unable to modify the invoice should the details provided be incorrect or outdated.

FOR OTHER PARTICIPANTS – PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION – PA INVOICE

In the registration process, you have to select the PA invoice option and provide the following information:

  • IPA/Unique Code
  • Company Name
  • VAT Number
  • Tax Code
  • Address
  • ZIP Code
  • City
  • Province

ABCD will issue an electronic invoice based on the payment form details. ABCD will be unable to modify the invoice should the details provided be incorrect or outdated.

Cancellation policy

Cancellations with a refund request must be sent by e-mail to the secretariat and must be accompanied by a valid justification. Refunds will be decided case by case by the organising secretariat. If accepted, cancellations by 18 September 2026 will be refunded fully minus an administrative charge of 30 EUR; no refunds will be provided after 18 September 2026.

Abstracts

Abstracts are accepted exclusively through this website, through your personal myRNA2026 area; you will need to have an account to have access to the latter.

Only one abstract per participant is allowed. The abstract should be submitted by the presenting author only.

The abstract submission deadline is 31 July 2026. The organisers will then review the received abstracts for oral or poster presentations.

All submitted abstracts will be discarded if payment is not received by 18 September 2026.

Abstracts guidelines:

  • Title. The title must start in uppercase and continue in lowercase, except for conventional terms (ATP, DNA, NFκB, etc). Example:
        This title is written correctly
         This Title is Not Properly Written
         ALSO THIS TITLE IS WRONG
  • Authorship. If more than one author (but only in that case), underline your name (the presenting author, in whatever position you appear in the author list) and use commas to separate the author names; do not use 'and' before the last author. Write your name and surname in full; for any other authors use initial(s) for the first name(s) followed by the surname. If more than one affiliation (but only in that case), use sequential superscript numbers to identify each institution. Example:
       Mario Rossi1, J. Doe2, F. Bloggs1,2
       1Dept Biomembranes, Golgi & Veratti Univ., Pavia, Italy
       2Dept Bioblast Analyses, Altmann Univ., Leipzig, Germany
  • Abstract text. Keep the abstract text to within 2000 characters, spaces included (which is roughly equivalent to 250 words).

  Warning

Unfortunately, there is an increasing number of fraudulent websites and email promotions claiming to offer registration and accommodation services. Please be advised that payment for your attendance to the ABCD 2026 RNA Biology and Systems Medicine can only be processed through this website, within your personal myRNA2026 area, after you sign up for an account. Also, the Organisers are in no way responsible for arrangements that you make. Please be aware of possible scams.
