Reduced Registration Rates
With the 2021 Annual Conference being held virtually, ISOQOL is offering a substantially reduced registration rate which includes membership dues through 2022 for all attendees. Through these reduced rates, it is ISOQOL’s hope to make the networking, collaborative and educational opportunities more easily accessible to those impacted by the pandemic and engaged in health related quality of life research around the world.
The International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL) is a global community of researchers, clinicians, health care professionals, industry professionals, consultants, and patient research partners advancing health related quality of life research (HRQL).
