International attendees require a valid passport or visa to enter Switzerland. Due to wait times, it is strongly recommended that you start the visa application process as soon as you have received notice of acceptance and confirmed attendance. Once you have registered for the event, you can receive a visa invitation letter by reaching out to Sandra Popovic at the University of Bern. sandra.popovic2@unibe.ch
