Categories eligible to discounted registration fees

EWEA member: Only direct members of EWEA, having paid their 2014 membership fees, can benefit from the member registration fee. If you are not a member yet and wish to benefit from the discount, please submit your membership application before registering.

Academic/NGO/Non-profit: Available to those with a current full-time position at an educational institution/NGO/non-profit organisation. An official letter from the institution/organisation confirming the full-time employment status needs to be provided. This document should be uploaded during the registration process. Without this document, EWEA reserves the right to proceed with non-member (or member if applicable) registration and charge the corresponding registration fee.

Student: Student registration requires proof of status in the form of a copy of valid 2014-2015 student ID card or an official letter from the educational institution confirming that the registrant is a full-time student at time of the event. This document should be uploaded during the registration process. Without this document, EWEA reserves the right to proceed with non-member (or member if applicable) registration and charge the corresponding registration fee.

Oral/poster presenter:Discount only offered to oral/posters presenters who take part in the conference programme at the EWEA Technology Workshops. If you register with this discount and later cancel your presentation, EWEA reserves the right to charge the full amount for your registration.

EWEA membership fee

EWEA membership fee will be applied and a member company will appear in the relevant list only if all membership payments have been made and if the organisation is an EWEA member at the date of the event. The processing time for new membership contracts is two weeks. If the membership status is not valid at the date of registration (either due to non-payment or contract processing time), the non-member fee will be charged and any reimbursements made only after receipt of the membership payment.

Cancellation and refund policy

EWEA is aware that your business environment is continuously changing, and our aim is to support you with a flexible approach when it comes to EWEA event registration cancellation. However, please keep in mind that we commit expenses for each participant well in advance of the workshops and we must strictly adhere to the outlined cancellation and refund policy.

Any cancellation of registration must be notified in writing to EWEA to [email protected] and will be subject to the following conditions:

  • Cancellations received on or before 28 November 2014: refund of fee minus an administrative fee of € 75 (+ 25% VAT).
  • Cancellations received after 28 November 2014 or no-shows: no refund will be made.

There will be no refund to participants not attending coffee breaks, luncheons or evening functions included in the registration fees.

All refunds will be processed after the event. Any refunds to credit card payments may only be credited back to the original credit card.

Substitutions

Substitutions are permitted at any time and at no cost. Substitutes must work for the same company as the original registrant and invoicing information must stay the same. E-mail your substitution requests to [email protected].

Confirmation

Upon completion of your online registration, you will be sent a confirmation by e-mail. Please note that the confirmation will be sent to the e-mail address provided on the registration form. This confirmation will include a link to your PDF invoice.
