Regular participant:	€ 270	€ 330

The conference fee includes includes everything directly connected to your participation in the conference (the abstract book and other information material, lunch and coffee breaks, the welcome reception etc.).
It does, however, not include accommodation. It also does not include social events like the conference party, for which we will have to charge additionally.

When registering, two payment options will be offered to you. You can pay the fees by credit card (online) or by bank transfer (with IBAN/BIC). Bank transfer is the preferred method of payment within Europe (quicker and cheaper).

The reduced fee is meant for students, PhD students, members of the Freie Universität and members of the Interdisciplinary Center for European Languages (ZEUS). In the case of (PhD) students, you will be asked to send us a proof (copy of student card or a institutional letter) by e-mail.

Fee Waivers
For the Sociolinguistics Symposium 19 a number of bursaries were made available in order to facilitate participation in the conference for successful applicants. Participants with an accepted contribution to the conference were eligible to apply for a (partial) fee waiver in order to facilitate their participation, especially when funding by the home institution or by another source was not available (deadline was May 15). We are pleased to announce that 45 fee-waiver bursaries could be awarded.
