Important!

Some participants have received emails from "Travel Housing Team" pretending to be from EuropaCat 2025, requesting that you provide your arrival and departure dates for your upcoming visit to attend the conference for securing a room for you.

DO NOT reply to these emails - they are not from EuropaCat 2025!

All official corresponance from EuropaCat 2025 is from Europacat2025@konferanser.ntnu.no, Europacat2025abstract@konferanser.ntnu.no or noreply@eventsair.com  and no one else. 

DO NOT pay anything in advance. All rooms booked via our registration portal must be paid for at the hotel.  We are working to stop these emails.

Summer holidays

Please note that July is the month for summer holidays in Norway. Europacat 2025 is staffed, but not to the same extent as normal. Therefore, you must expect a little longer waiting time than usual before you receive a response to your inquiries.
