Registration Fees
- Free for registered University of Cambridge PhD students, but see non-attendance below.
- £60 per day for all University of Cambridge staff including postdocs; these charges are recovered at the departmental or institutional level.
- CRUK CI staff only: the institute no longer covers the cost of registration fees, these are now cross-charged to your group budget or a grant cost code (let the finance team know if you want the latter).
- Please cancel your booking if you are unable to attend as this will free up a space for someone on the waiting list.
- There is a penalty fee of £20 per day for non-attendance of students that will be charged to your responsible department or you personally should the department refuse to pay, so please remember to cancel if you are unable to attend.
- Further details of the charging policy can be found here.
