About the participation fee

The participation fee depends on the number of days you decide to participate in the Congress, your selected Friday activity, and whether you choose to attend the optional dinners. You will at least pay the general participation fee, plus additional costs depending on whether you choose optional dinners or paid activities. This is further outlined below. 

We offer Early Bird participant fees for those registering by April 27th, 2025, and pay their participation fee by April 30th, 2025. Note that a bank transfer from outside the EU may take 2–5 business days, but the payment must be completed by April 30, 2025, the latest.

After that we offer only normal participant fees. Registration for the event closes on May 21th and the participation fee must be completed by May 26, 2025, at the latest.

(We have applied for and received a grant for the congresswhich will cover part of the seminar's expenses. Thanks to it, we have been able to reduce the participation fee by approximately 100 euros per participant.)

The general participation fee (depending on which days you attend) includes the following:

• Wednesday: Welcome dinner and evening event
• Thursday: Lunch, afternoon coffee break, and the program (evening dinner and event at extra cost)
