Costs
Participation fee for local applicants, who do not need accommodation arrangements, is 1000 pesos (VAT free).
Participation fee for international participants is € 475,- (excl. VAT, only for Europe). This participation fee includes accommodation.
The Participation fee (with or without accomodation) includes teambuilding activities, some lunches & dinners, field trips, workshop, supervision, trainings and working venues. Participants are responsible for their own travel expenses (plane tickets, local travel, etcetera), meals during working days and other personal costs.
Note: During past editions participants often successfully arranged financial compensation for their Wetskills participation from their university or employer. We therefore strongly encourage applicants to inquire about funding opportunities to compensate the costs (university mobility funds, travel allowance etc.).
