Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are there any registration discounts, promo codes, or fee reductions available?
ENCATC does not offer promo codes or additional discounts. The registration fees are fixed and apply equally to all participants to ensure a fair and transparent process.
2. Is financial support available for participants from developing countries?
While we highly value international participation and diverse perspectives,
ENCATC is not able to provide individual financial support or fee reductions
based on geographic location. The same registration conditions apply to all
participants.
To support international participants, ENCATC has compiled a list of external
travel grant and funding resources that may be helpful in securing financial
assistance.
3. Does ENCATC offer travel grants or financial assistance for presenters?
ENCATC does not provide travel grants or individual financial assistance. All participants, including presenters, are responsible for covering their own travel, accommodation, and registration costs. This ensures equal treatment for everyone.
4. Can I request a partial fee waiver due to financial difficulties?
We understand that financial situations may vary. However, to maintain a democratic and consistent approach, ENCATC does not grant individual fee waivers or reductions. The fee structure is the same for all participants.
5. Are there discounts or support options for students?
ENCATC offers a student registration category, which is already set at a reduced rate. This category follows specific eligibility criteria, and no further reductions beyond this established rate are available.
6. Can presenters use student tickets if they are still enrolled?
Registration categories must be selected according to ENCATC Congress rules. Presenters are required to register under the appropriate presenter category, even if they are students. Student rates cannot be applied outside the defined eligibility conditions.
7. Are there special considerations for early-career or unaffiliated researchers?
While ENCATC recognizes the challenges faced by early-career and unaffiliated researchers, it is not possible to offer individual fee adjustments. Maintaining equal conditions for all participants is essential.
8. What if I am self-funded and cannot cover the full registration fee?
We understand that self-funding can be challenging. However, all participants
are required to cover the registration fee, in line with ENCATC’s commitment to
fairness and consistency.
9. Why are individual exceptions not possible?
To ensure transparency, fairness, and equal treatment, ENCATC applies the same rules and fee structure to all participants. Making exceptions would compromise this principle.
10. How should I proceed if I still wish to participate?
We warmly encourage participation and suggest:
- Reviewing the available registration categories carefully
- Confirming eligibility for the student rate (if applicable)
- Exploring external funding opportunities, including the resources compiled by
ENCATC.
