Congress fees

The congress will be Hybrid: all* panels and plenaries will be available to both face-to-face delegates and those online, whether that be listening or presenting. (*unless there are physical barriers to online access, e.g. a walking workshop)

Late registrations (After 25 April) will be significantly higher rates.

Convenors of accepted panels are obliged to be members of SIEF for 2025. Paper-givers and other delegates are not obliged to become members of SIEF, however all are encouraged to support the Society in this way. There will be a financial incentive to do so, in that non-members will pay a higher registration fee.

• Those attending NEFK - Nordic Ethnology and Folklore Conference in Turku (11-14 June) as well as SIEF2025 should register for SIEF and contact us by email before paying so that we can edit your SIEF2025 invoice as there is a small discount for those attending both: congress(at)siefhome.org

This fee includes an opening drinks reception, three lunches and seven tea/coffee breaks, and access to all sessions and events. The congress party ticket is a charged-for extra (42 EUR), to be booked at the time of registration. The party will take place at The Beach Ballroom (Beach Promenade, Aberdeen, AB24 5NR) on the final night of the congress (6 June), starting at 20:00.

What are you paying for?

SIEF prioritises the attendance of precarious scholars, using the full price member and non-member fees to subsidise low-income registration categories. SIEF congresses make a point of not using the money coming from congress fees to cover the costs of drinks receptions, instead aiming to find local sponsors to subsidise those.

Funding

The Call for Funding is now closed. SIEF aims to give grants to some precarious scholars and students to partially cover costs such as registration fees, accommodation, travel and visas for F2F participation. As the amount of funding is limited, grants will be partial.

Cancelling your registration

If you cancel your registration by notifying us by email more than three weeks in advance we will be able to refund your registration fee, less €70 to cover our administrative and finance costs. Cancellations made within three weeks of the event will not be eligible for such a refund, due to the costs already incurred. Refunds at that point will be discretionary. If you are unhappy with the 'product/service' you have paid for please email congress(at)siefhome.org.
