Financial support

Will the CEIEC provide financial support for delegates?

CEIEC is a not-for-profit organization and therefore is incapable to provide financial assistance to individuals who are unable to afford the charges (registration fee, airfare and accommodation costs) that may be incurred in attending our conference. We can only provide financial support for delegates if we receive sponsorship or specific grant-aid for specific delegates.
