Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to the workshop organisers.
Cancellations received on or before 15 November 2026
Participants who cancel on or before 15 November 2026 may be eligible for a refund of the registration fee, minus a 10% administrative fee, provided that the organisers are able to identify and confirm a suitable replacement participant.
Cancellations received after 15 November 2026
No refunds will be issued for cancellations received after 15 November 2026.
Please note that this is a residential workshop, and financial commitments for accommodation, catering and venue arrangements are made in advance. Refunds are therefore contingent on whether the cancelled place can be reallocated to a suitable replacement participant. If the workshop is not oversubscribed, or if a suitable replacement cannot be secured, the organisers will not be able to issue a refund.
Substitutions are subject to approval by the organisers and must be compatible with the scientific scope, eligibility criteria and participant balance of the workshop.
