• Registration fees cover the costs of venue rental, lunches, conference dinner and Wednesday excursion. Funding rules do not allow covering these costs from any other source, except registration fees. However, we do not want the registration fee to stop anybody from coming, so we can offer some financial support to those who need it. Please don’t hesitate to write to us at mooloolaba2020@gmail.com to enquire about financial support if you need it. If you have your own grant and decide not to ask for financial support, then more funding can be directed to the younger participants.
