If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

In accordance with national and European data protection legislation (including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – GDPR), EEL is obligated to manage the data provided by users securely and solely for the specified purposes.
Purpose of data collection: registration for events, dissemination of relevant information, and creation of attendance reports for the awarding of continuing medical education credits (where applicable).
Providing this data is mandatory for event participation. Refusal to provide the required data will result in the inability to complete the registration process and, consequently, the inability to receive any applicable professional credits.
Data recipients may include: professional organizations, EEL’s contractual partners, and service providers involved in event organization.
Users are entitled to the following rights:
The right to access and rectify data;
The right to object;
The right to request data deletion;
The right to seek legal remedy if their rights have been violated.
To exercise these rights, users may send a signed and dated written request to: eec2026@citrus.mt
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
By participating in events organized by EEL, users agree to the use of photo and video images taken during these events for the purpose of promoting EEL’s activities through its official channels (website, social media, professional publications, etc.). Participants agree not to harm the image or reputation of EEL or its partners.
Payments made through the website are securely processed via the Stripe platform. When choosing card payment, the user will fill in a secure form hosted on Netopia’s servers.
Transactions are secured via the 3-D Secure protocol (Visa / MasterCard), and card data is not stored by EEL or any third-party intermediaries.
After completing the registration form, a pro forma invoice is automatically generated. Upon payment confirmation by the bank, the participant will receive the tax invoice at the email address provided. The invoice may be issued no later than the 15th of the month following the registration date.
Cancellation of registration for the EEC2026 Congress, held in Bologdna, 23-25th of April 2026, must be made exclusively via a written request sent to: eec2026@citrus.mt, by February 20, 2026.
The participation fee for the congress or pre-congress courses is non-refundable, except for valid and justified reasons (e.g., family bereavement, serious medical issues).
Furthermore, the fee is non-refundable if, after verifying attendance, it is determined that the registered person did not actually participate in the congress activities. In such cases, no certificate of participation will be issued.
Continuing medical education credits related to the EEC2026 Congress will only be awarded to individuals who actually attend the scientific sessions.
Actual participation in scientific activities will be verified through daily check-ins and attendance lists.
For online participation, a minimum attendance of 70% of the total duration of activities is required, according to accreditation standards.
Use of the website implies the express agreement that any potential dispute will be resolved according to Italian law. Initially, resolution will be sought amicably; if this is not possible, the competent courts in Bologna will have jurisdiction.
By registering for the event and paying the participation fee, the user fully accepts these terms and conditions, which constitute a binding contract between the parties.
EEL reserves the right to modify the content of the website and these terms at any time without prior notice. EEL is not responsible for errors on the website or the content of external sites linked therein.
