IS THERE A FEE TO ATTEND?

PLEASE CONSIDER BEFORE REGISTERING: Whilst the workshop is part of an EU-funded capacity-building project, the seminar is similar in quality and value to other events available on the market.

Please make sure to already pencil the dates in your agenda. We look forward to receiving your registration!
