Covid-19
From 12.02.2022 there are no requirements for testing, quarantine or registration upon arrival in Norway. Restrictions have been lifted. Social and cultural life is back to normal. You do not need to wear a face mask or socially distance.
If you do get infected with COVID-19, it is recommended that you isolate yourself for 4 days, or until you no longer have a fever. Covid tests can be bought in pharmacies and supermarkets.
These rules may change again, and you are responsible for being updated about which rules apply at the time of entry.
Please check “Advice and rules for entry to Norway” by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health on a regular basis
VISA: Letter of Invitation
A letter of invitation will be issued upon request for visa purposes. Please indicate this during the registration. A letter of invitation does not constitute any financial commitment on the part of CPCM2023.
Insurance
The organizers will not accept liability for personal accident, loss, or damage to private property, which may be incurred as a result of the participation in the conference. Participants are, therefore, advised to arrange appropriate insurance cover. Make sure the insurance also applies to cancellation costs.
