We want IrSPEN to be affordable for all
To keep IrSPEN as accessible to all as possible in 2023, including students and young researchers, we have made the decision to ask you to pay no more than required to cover our basic catering costs, and student costs will be subsidised by our own funds. We are however banking on attracting the largest turnout ever – so do please encourage friends and colleagues to put this ‘must attend’ event in the diary!
