Conference registration

Registration for the conference will open on our website on 20 February and close for presenters on 20 April. Participants who fail to register and to pay the conference fee by the deadline will be removed from the conference programme.

Guest registration will remain open until 14 June. However, to facilitate planning and preparation, we recommend that all guests register as early as possible.

The registration fee for participants and guests is 100€ (discount fee for students 70€), non-refundable. For scholars affiliated with Ukrainian institutions, participation fee will be waived. To request a discount or a waiver, please write to info@tartuconference.ut.ee.
