?️ Language: English
? Cost: Seminar fees
If you are UoH staff, faculty or a student from any school or university, the seminar is free for you.
All others: 50 € per day (100 € + VAT for 2 days). (Please ask for reduced prices if the price is too high for you: [email protected]).
If you are a company and would like a table and/or a roll-up outside the lecture hall: 500 € + VAT, including 2 persons that may attend the lectures.
The organized dinner on Friday we try to get partly sponsored and charge you only 30 € (food only) or 40 € (with wine). Please enter this in the registration form when you register through the link above. Saturday: a restaurant where everybody pays but we make the reservation.
OBSERVE: The University is slow so you might get your invoice before the seminar, or after. This is not our fault, and we invite you to come anyway and then just pay after the seminar, when you get the invoice. Sorry for the inconvenience. Our seminar fee pays for the lecturer, the lecture hall, the coffees etc., we never make a profit. But in case we someday would, all extra revenues would go to sponsoring the nutrition research done by the DogRisk research group at the University of Helsinki.
