Commitment Fee Policy

To confirm your registration at the academy, a €30 commitment fee is required. Please complete the payment within two weeks of receiving your confirmation email. Payment ensures your place at the academy; if the fee is not received on time, your spot may be offered to another participant.

Cancellations

The cancellation will not be effective until a written acknowledgement from the CECOG Academy organisers is received.

Committment fees will not be refunded in case of cancellation.

No refunds will be granted for unattended events or early termination of attendance, in case of cancellation of speakers or any other incidents during the conference, which are beyond the control of the organisers.
