(*)	The registration fee given above excludes the Friday 11 September 2009 excursion. For those who wish to partake in this excursion, the registration fee will be increased by €70 – €390 and €420, but will still appear as 'one' registration fee (not as a separate line item). VAT is included.

 

Half a dozen to a dozen (depending on needs) partial registration scholarships are available for undergraduates and postgraduate (masters and PhD) students. Please apply directly to the Programme Committee Chair before 30 June 2009. This will be determined on a first come, first serve basis, and will require that (i) you are first author of the abstract you are submitting, (ii) a cover letter from the student indicating their need and why they would benefit from coming to the conference, (iii) a letter of support from an academic at the student's university confirming the enrolment status of the student, that the student has no direct recourse to university or government grant's (e.g. research grants), and any other information about the student that would be helpful.

For accompanying people, see further registration details when registering.

A registration fee for one day is also possible. For information about it, see the registration web.
