Conference registration
All participants have to register. We kindly request you to do so as soon as possible. A reduced early-bird rate applies for registration made before 31 May 2004. Reduced rates are also available for employees/representatives of NGOs and for students. To obtain these rates, students must submit proof of a valid student identification card, and NGO-employees/representatives must submit an official confirmation of their status of affiliation together with their conference registration. Please send this proof to Symporg as an attachement or fax it at the time of your registration. Please also note that enterprises, interest organisations, non-university research institutes and the like cannot be considered as NGOs. Only private non-profit-making institutions active in the support of migrants will be considered as NGOs.
