CANCELLATION POLICIES:
The fee and cancellation policies are set by the organizing institution.
For workshops organized by this conservation lab.:
Place at the workshop is guaranteed only at the moment of payment, otherwise your place is not saved.
Once your place is confirmed, and in case you need to cancel, the fee will be refunded only in the case that there is another participant in the waiting list that matches the targeted audience and is ready to join the course (the organizers shall establish the following attendee in the waiting list, and not the person who cancels). Bank charges of the refund will be on behalf of the participant that leaves his/her place free. Anyhow, 45 days before the course the fee will be refunded only 75% due to secretary duplicities and urgency in submitting a new participant. The fee for the new participant remains the same. No refund will be possible if no other participant on the waiting list is available.

In case the course is cancelled, the participants will be offered other dates to do it, or they will be given back the full fee. The organisation will not refund any accommodation, travel or other expenses related to the course in any case. A new date shall be offered, or else the full fee shall be refund. The course can be cancelled if there is not enough participants.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE:
Do not forget to bring your health medical assistance if you are coming from a European Union country. You will receive medical assistance easily, if ever you were in need. It is recommended to hire a private medical insurance for your journey if coming from other countries not belonging to the UE.
