Conference fee

ESP conference organisation puts great effort into making the conference affordable to a wide audience. We try to keep the registration fee as low as possible and take membership status and income level of countries into account. 

**The Early Bird fee is only applicable until August 1 2018, 17:00 CET

The fee includes entry to all conference sessions, but excludes lunch. The welcome reception, conference dinner and excursion are charged separately. Travel costs, training sessions, accommodation, administration and transaction costs are not included in the above listed conference fees. Please read our registration and cancellation policy for more information. 

Which fee is applicable to my situation?

• ESP individual members are all those who pay a membership fee to the Ecosystem Services Partnership. ESP members differ from ESP 'friends', who only receive our monthly Update. An important ESP membership benefit is a substantial discount on the ESP Conference fee. We will provide a special discount code for the ESP members soon. This discount code should be used in the registration form to select the ESP membership fee. Please ensure that your membership is valid and paid in full at the time of the conference. Interested in becoming a member? Please sign up here. 
• ESP institutional members are organisations who pay a fee to the Ecosystem Services Partnership. Each organisation is entitled to send two representatives to the ESP Conference for the reduced ESP membership fee. We will provide a special discount code for the ESP members soon. This discount code should be used in the registration form to select the ESP membership fee. Please ensure that your membership is valid and paid in full at the time of the conference. If an organisation wishes to send different representatives than the ones known to us, or if you lost or haven't received the discount code, please contact us.  
• Low-middle income country delegates are citizens of low-income or lower-middle-income-economies according to the World Bank classification of Country groups. If you are part of this participant category you will be asked to provide a copy of your ID upon registration.

Visa

CO2 compensation 

The conference organising committee is aware that organizing an international conference affects CO2 emissions. Therefore, we have selected a local project 'Forest for the future in Basque country' which enables conference participants to mitigate CO2 emissions, at least to some extent. We allow you to compensate for your travel by buying CO2 compensation units, €10 for each unit. Please note that this is not an official offset program, but through our conferences we aim to support local environmental projects.
