Participation fee for international participants is € 395,- (excl. VAT). This participation fee includes accommodation. Participation fee for local applicants, who do not need accommodation arrangements, is € 125,- (VAT free).
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.
