The conference fee is an affordable 300 EUR (or 100 EUR for one day only), with a 50% discount for students.

Update 8.03.2010. Participants from Romania (who cannot get a LLP/Grundtvig grant for participating to a conference in their own country - see below) are granted a 50% discount by the conference organizers. Since the registration form is now locked, they should register as 'students' and proper enrolment will be dealt with during the post-registration phase.

The full conference fee covers the conference materials, as well as all coffee breaks and meals (lunch and dinner on 22 and 23 June, lunch on 24 June).

Please note that you can get a grant from the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme to participate in the conference. Under the Lifelong Learning Programme / Grundtvig - Visits and exchanges for adult education staff scheme, the European Commission provides grants to enable teachers, mentors, trainers, managers, and other interested and relevant adult education staff to attend a conference or a seminar, where this will have a demonstrably strong added value for the candidate and thereby for his/her organisation.

Just check with your National Agency managing the Lifelong Learning Programme, and apply to Grundtvig - Visits and exchanges for adult education staff. Most National Agencies have rolling deadlines for this action - so the sooner the better.

Don't forget: when you apply you'll have to attach to your application the conference entry in in the Comenius-Grundtvig Training Database of the European Commission's DG Education and Culture, under code RO-2010-089-001 - or directly here. And also a confirmation of your pre-registration - which you'll get from the conference organizers once you fill out the registration form.

We chose as a location for the DIGITAS conference the former European Capital of Culture 2007 - Sibiu (official tourist information or its Wikipedia entry, just in case).

The conference will be hosted by the local Ibis Hotel (map here). Accommodation will be available for conference participants - and you may choose to book at the time of your registration, since the organizers have arranged a group reservation.

Sibiu international airport is rather small - but it is linked directly to Munich, Stuttgart, Vienna, Madrid and London (Stansted), and through Bucharest and Timisoara with most of the inhabited world. So you might fly directly to Sibiu - or choose to fly to Bucharest, then hop in a car or a train to benefit from crossing some impressive mountains on your way to the conference location.

* Further logistical information will be posted here during the following weeks.
