​Both single and twin room accommodations are available on a first-come-first-serve basis upon enrollment. The participation fee (without and with accommodation) has to be paid upon enrollment in December 2019.

Scholarships

The organizers of the Winter School will award a limited number of scholarships. The organizers distinguish between:

• “full scholarships” covering the accommodation costs in a 3 -bed room for 13 nights plus breakfast in Innsbruck and Bolzano/Bozen and a small contribution towards the participants’ travel expenses (refund after the Winter School). 1-2 scholarships are available.
• “partial scholarships” covering the accommodation costs in a 3-bed room in Innsbruck and Bolzano/Bozen for 13 nights plus breakfast. 3-4 scholarships are available.

Scholarships are limited and will be awarded based on merit and need; preference will be given to students and applicants from non-European countries.

Please note that holders of these scholarships are still required to pay a participation fee of € 150,00 upon enrollment. The scholarships will be awarded after all applications have been processed by the end of November 2019.

Cancellation Policy

In case of a cancellation after 10 December 2019, the organizers will refund the participation fee minus 10% and minus the incurred costs (e.g. accommodation, visa letter). This cancellation policy will be applied also to scholarship holders.
