El envío se hace a través de la plataforma web del congreso ( http://www.reunionesdeestudiosregionales.org/). Desde esta plataforma se enlaza también a la aplicación que permite realizar el pago mediante el procedimiento que os resulte más cómodo (el enlace a la aplicación es:  http://www.reunionesdeestudiosregionales.org/Inscripciones-61-home).
