It is not necessary to attend every lecture live. Every registered participant will receive twelve months of on-demand access to the complete conference video library. This allows students, professors, researchers, clergy, and other participants from different time zones to follow the entire programme at their own pace.
One registration includes all three main conference days (6–8 November) plus complimentary access to both Special Additional Days (9 and 10 November), and twelve months of access to every conference recording.
The conference supports the Diamond Open Access mission of the European Hebrew Journal. Diamond Open Access means that scholarly content is available without subscription fees for readers and without publication charges for authors.
By purchasing a conference ticket, participants also directly support the professional processing, subtitling, organization, and long-term preservation of the complete video recording of every conference presentation. These recordings will be maintained in a dedicated digital archive and made available to registered conference participants for twelve months following the conference, allowing them to revisit the lectures, research discussions, and scholarly material throughout that period.
Conference proceedings and published presentation materials will receive persistent Crossref-registered DOIs. Eligible scholarly outputs will be structured for discovery in Google Scholar and OpenAlex. Conference-derived research articles published in the European Hebrew Journal will also benefit from the journal's inclusion in CEEOL.
