Fee waivers
A limited number of partial/full fee waivers for the ESSE Conference is available to in-person participants who can demonstrate that the regular fee would be a financial hardship for them. Please contact the organisers at esse2024 [at] unil.ch by 30 April 2024 with such requests.
Fee waivers will cover only the basic registration fee for the conference, not the social activities or conference soirée.
Eligibility will be limited to ESSE members:
- who are doctoral students or have finished their PhD thesis after 1 January 2015 (a statement in English from the supervisor is sufficient), or
- who are from low-income countries (regardless of academic or actual age), or
- who are retired professors (with priority given to seminar convenors).
Scholars at risk do not need to be ESSE members to apply for a conference fee waiver but must be presenters.
Recipients will be selected based on the strength of their application packages. Preference will be given to early career scholars and scholars at risk, participants who have no funding, are unemployed or receive low income, as well as participants who have not previously received a fee waiver for an ESSE event.
Details of the application process can be found here:
Applicants who are granted a reduced fee/full fee waiver will be sent a special link for registration.
