Pre-Conference Workshop:  “The End Game, getting the doctorate finished” is a half day workshop for doctoral degree candidates and supervisors and will run on the afternoon of Wednesday 10^th September, 14:30 – 17:30hrs. You can read more about it here or download the .pdf file here. The workshop is free of charge for anyone registered for ECIME and to staff members and students from Royal Holloway. Applications for a place on the workshop should be made by email to Sue Nugus.

By special arrangement it is possible to pay fees in Euros, US dollars or CA dollars. Please contact Charl Walters for further details before registering.

Fees are payable in advance by credit/debit card (NOT Diners or Amex), GBP cheque/bank draft or by bank transfer. Earlybird fees must reach us no later than 3 July 2008 and all other fees must reach us no later than 28 August 2008. Bookings can still be made after this date provided that payment is received by credit card at the time of booking

Note to Authors: In order to have your paper published in the conference proceedings the final date for receipt of authors’ payment is 7 August 2008. Due to the large number of papers expected for this conference, the committee only allows an author to present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for presentation different co-authors need to present each paper.

Changes and Amendments: If you are booking accommodation and would like to increase your stay for additional nights we will do our best to help you. We are happy to do this as part of your registration provided you tell us by email at the time of booking. Before finally submitting your registration, please check your order carefully as changes made to bookings after an invoice has been raised will be subject to an administration charge of £25 per change made. If you do notice that you have made a mistake please notify us by email so that we can help you before raising your invoice. All registration queries should be sent to Charl Walters

Cancellations: Please refer to cancellation terms and conditions.

Earlybird condition: In order to obtain the Earlybird rate, we must be in receipt of your full conference registration fee by the published Earlybird date. Although we endeavour to notify paper acceptance before this date, external factors may prevent this. In the event of an author subsequently failing to have a paper accepted for the conference, a refund can be made (cancellation charges apply).

Visa Applications: Visitors to the UK must have a valid passport and may require a visa. For more information, please visit our Visa Information page and your local United Kingdom Embassy website. Please note that we are not able to provide visas.
