A limited number of reduced fees for master or PhD students is available. Students willing to apply for fee reduction should send an email to uhecr2022@gssi.it, including a one page CV, not later than July 25.

L'Aquila is not a big city, so even if the first week of October is not a peak time for tourism, we suggest you to make your reservations well in advance in one of the Hotels and B&Bs in the city center (at walking distance from the conference venue) or in the surroundings.

If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact us via the LOC email uhecr2022@gssi.it
