• the event is scientifically sound
• the event has an internationally recognised scientific advisory board (ISAB) or organisation committee (OC)
• at least 50% of the invited speakers are from outside the organizing countries
• the official event language is English (no other languages are permitted in any of the official scientific or technical presentations)
• students receive a discount on the registration fee
