Dear Dr. Ulrich, I hope you are doing well. I have been trying since the last workshop to contribute to your esteemed workshops. I am wondering if the online contribution option is valid. Moreover, if there are travel funds available, that would be great. Nevertheless, if not, and I totally understand, then I would greatly appreciate it if there is an online option. Could I know your thoughts on this? Thank you. Sincerely, Gamal On Mon, May 4, 2026 at 11:53 AM Ulrich Foelsche via Announcements < announcements@lists.irowg.org> wrote:
Dear IROWG,
we have already received 80+ abstracts for OPAC-IROWG 2026 - thank you very much for your interest in the conference! We are looking forward to very interesting presentations and discussions. https://opacirowg2026.uni-graz.at/en/
Since we have also received some (not totally unexpected) requests, we have extended the abstract submission deadline by *one week*.
Please note that *May 10* is the *final* deadline. https://opacirowg2026.uni-graz.at/en/abstract-submission/
We start sending out the abstract acceptance e-mails today, but it is already clear that all abstracts submitted so far will be accepted.
Therefore, please proceed with* booking your rooms* since the block reservation at Seggau Castle is only secured until *May 31 - *and it seems that we will be using up all the rooms that we could reserve.
Please go to: https://booking.seggau.com:800/Hotel-Schloss-Seggau/inquiry.aspx Change language("Sprache") to English, if needed. Select the dates Enter the promotion code: OPAC2026 Click on "Show available rooms" - and select.
You will notice that we have negotiated very reasonable room rates - which include breakfast.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Austria in September! (and may the force be with you).
Uli Foelsche, on behalf of the organizing committee.
