Does general registration by training centers (design schools and universities) give the right to participate in all of the 7th BID Meeting´s activities?

Yes, general registration through centers gives access to the full package of activities: students´ exhibition, teaching experiences, research and design day, conferences, networking (exchanges forum for centers and speakers) and enables the centers to sign the Manifesto/Declaration on teaching. It allows teachers, students or professionals to participate, provided that they are linked to the training center which is registered in the Meeting.

Once the center has been registered, who can participate in the activities?

Students, as well as teachers or other professionals who are part of the academic environment of the registered center, can participate in all activities, whether they are speakers or auditors. It should be noted that each center can only submit four students’ work for the Exhibition and that each person can only do one presentation.

If the center is already registered, do I have to register for each activity I want to participate in? Do these specific registrations have a cost?

Yes, once the center has been registered (general registration), you must register individually for each activity you want to participate in, without additional cost. Since this registration is individual, it shall be done by each person who wants to participate in an activity. To do so, you must use the registration code that you can obtain from your center, otherwise you may ask for this code by writing to this address: pagos@bid-dimad.org. If you are participating in the Students´ Exhibition, the registration must be done by the person authorized by the center, which will choose the works that will be displayed in the exhibition.  If the presentation submitted for the R+D Forum or for Teaching Experiences was written by more than one person, it shall be mentioned in the remarks section of the corresponding form.

Once the center has been registered, where can I find the code that is needed to register for activities?

Once the center has been registered and the payment has been done, the corresponding voucher will be sent by email. In this voucher, you will find a transaction ID (TY…). This ID is the code you need and which must be given to any professional or student who wants to participate in the activities, which are therefore free.
If you have not received the voucher or if you cannot contact the department which registered, you can write to pagos@bid-dimad.org to ask for the code. The codes will only be sent by this email account.
