Seminar Fee

Staff from HUMANE Member Institutions and Residential School Alumni benefit from the members rate of €685 (for non-members the fee is €985 – see below). The fee includes the catering within the programme (coffee breaks, lunch on Thursday and Friday plus the Thursday dinner). It does not include travel or accommodation.

Non HUMANE Members may attend if they meet the following criteria: they are from a higher education institution that delivers degree programmes in at least two of the three Bologna cycles (BA, MA, doctorate). Non-member applications are subject to review before acceptance. The Secretariat will apply the correct fee.

Accommodation

You are responsible for your own hotel reservation.

We also always advise to check accommodation platforms  such as booking.com for best deals based on your travel dates, although it is often also worth checking the aggregator’s rates with the hotel’s own rates before finalising your booking.

If booking directly with these hotels please mention the agreement between the hotel and Ghent University. It is not specific to this seminar but the hotel may apply a lower rack rate.
