Registration fees

FULL-TIME PARTICIPANTS:

FULL-TIME participants will follow on site the complete 5 weeks HERCULES school programme, including lectures, visits, poster session, social activities, ... and an exhaustive practicals, labs, and tutorials schedule:

        Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5 organised in Grenoble
       + Week 3 organised at one of our partner sites: ALBA (Barcelona, Spain), Elettra / FERMI (Trieste, Italy), or SOLEIL (Saint-Aubin, France).

The registration fees include:

• attendance of lectures, quizzes, presentations, visits, practicals, labs, and tutorials, organised in Grenoble and at the partner site,
• participation in the poster session organised in Grenoble,
• accommodation*, breakfasts*, weekday lunches, and social activities both in Grenoble and at the partner facility,
• travel back-and-forth to the partner facility, from Grenoble.

*except for the local participants, during weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5: they will not be accommodated in Grenoble, hence the reduced registration fees.

The registration fees do not include:

• the travel from home to Grenoble and back home (from Grenoble),
• dinners and week-end lunches,
• health insurance,
• repatriation insurance,
• personal liability insurance.
   

PART-TIME PARTICIPANTS:
 

PART-TIME participants will follow online (i.e. from home) all lectures held in Grenoble, but will not take part in the practicals/labs/tutorials. They do not participate at all to week 3.

The registration fees include:

• attendance of lectures, quizzes, and presentations organised in Grenoble, as they will be organized in an hybrid mode (on-site for the Full-time participants and on Zoom for the online Part-time ones).

Note that all other activities (visits, practicals, labs, and tutorials, poster session, social activities) will take place on-site only, so the online part-time participants will not be able to take part in them, hence the much lower registration fees.

FELLOWSHIP GRANTS:
 

A limited number of fellowship grants is available for candidates working in less favoured countries.

For full-time participants, there are three possible grants: reduced registration fee to 1500 €, reduced registration fee to 500 €, no registration fee. Since the number of grants is limited, we will favour reduced registration fees over the waiving of the fees...

For part-time participants, a waiving of the registration fees can be applied for.

In applying for a fellowship, please specify the fellowship you apply for and any other possible fellowship available in your country or university. We also ask you to write a detailed description for your trip organisation in case the answer is positive.
