Prices

Registration fees applied to the different categories of participants attending MSB 2022. The figures published for the symposium are summarised in the table below; the definitive amounts and payment conditions were those circulated with the registration material for the event.

Registration for the 38th International Symposium on Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis was structured around participant categories, reflecting the mix of scientists, students and industry delegates that MSB meetings typically attract. The published fee table served as the reference point for anyone planning to attend the University of Liège event, and the pages around it made clear that the definitive amounts were the ones listed rather than provisional estimates. Beyond the basic symposium registration, the same section also gathered information on optional extras such as short courses, social activities and catering, so that delegates could assemble a complete package for the July 2022 gathering.

Participation at MSB 2022 was intended to be accessible to a broad audience drawn from the separations and bioanalysis community, which includes researchers working on microscale and nanoscale systems, microfluidic chips, capillary and electrophoretic methods, and the detection technologies that support them. The fee structure acknowledged this by separating categories of attendees rather than applying a single uniform rate, and by making clear which items were included in registration and which counted as additional bookings. The Society for Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis organised the meeting with an emphasis on bringing together laboratory practice, instrument development and applied analysis in one forum.

Short courses and activities were offered alongside the main scientific programme, allowing delegates to extend their stay and deepen their understanding of the technical topics under discussion at the symposium. These optional sessions complemented the plenary lectures, contributed talks and poster presentations that made up the core schedule of the meeting. Participants who wished to remain in Liège beyond the official days could book into the additional activities, including social events and excursions, which gave a more informal view of the host city and its surroundings. The combination of scientific depth and shared time made the meeting attractive both for first-time attendees and for regular contributors to the field.

Beyond the technical content, MSB 2022 provided practical guidance for anyone travelling to Belgium, including information on the venue, accommodation in and around Liège, and options for spending free time in the region. The programme of activities was partly designed with this in mind, drawing visitors towards nearby sights, the Ardennes area, and the historic cities of Ghent and Bruges. Such arrangements helped participants balance a short course or an extended stay with the needs of those who wanted to see more of Belgium during the same trip, and it made the symposium a convenient anchor for a wider visit to the country.

The organisation of MSB 2022 rested on a set of documented guidelines and terms, covering abstract submission, author instructions for contributed work, and the responsibilities of delegates and exhibitors. These documents, together with the fees and activities pages, formed the practical backbone of the meeting, alongside the scientific programme, committees, speakers and award recipients listed elsewhere on the site. The result was an event designed to run to a clear schedule in July 2022, from the opening sessions and short courses through the closing discussions, with communication to attendees handled through the official channels of the Society for Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis.
