Fourth Advanced International Colloquium on Building the Scientific Mind Stellenbosch, South Africa - March 7-11, 2011

 

Conference Fee and Payment Modalities

The conference fee can be paid in Euros or US dollars. For budgetary purposes, the Euro amounts are the ones that count. The US Dollar equivalents reflect the prevailing exchange rate and customary conversion charges imposed by the bank. Should significant exchange rate fluctuations occur, the dollar amounts may be adjusted upwards or downwards. The following fee applies: € 200 or US $ 275.

Note that your registration covers, in addition to your participation in the colloquium, the official colloquium dinner, lunch on each of the colloquium days as well as refreshments, which account for a major proportion of the fee. We have deliberately chosen to include these costs in the fee. It is our experience that the opportunity to have our meals together serves in important ways the purpose of community building among the participants.
