Costs

The selection of speakers will be based upon the assessment of the abstracts (quality level, originality, adherence to the Forum’s theme), the applicants’ profiles, the budget available. Therefore the organization will accept a number of participants based on the actual financial availability, thus reserving the right of rejecting exceeding requests. The Forum’s organization will provide a 4 nights accommodation (lodging only) for the speakers:  check-in will be on October 1st, check-out on October 5th. The organization will contribute to the travel costs the selected speakers will have to sustain, for an amount that will not exceed 500 € per person. Given this threshold, the extent of the contribution will depend upon which party purchases the tickets.
