No Course Fees but Cost Contribution

If you are attending the course as a student or as a faculty member of an ERASMUS+ "sending institution", you will not have to pay the course fee, nor the fee for the international conference "Social Mentoring in Europe", which is part of this BIP, but a cost contribution of €100 to cover additional costs, such as copies and catering during the two days of the international conference on November 13 and 14, 2026. 
Participants are responsible for their own travel and transport expenses (tickets, visa fees etc.) as well as for their accommodation and insurance.
