Registration, Costs, and Travelling

The registration fee will be $400, with the registration fee for some graduate student participants covered through support from MITACS (the deadline to apply for one of these waivers has passed and we awarded all 40 registration fee waivers). Participants are responsible to arrange for their own travel and accomodation. For example, residence space at the University of Ottawa is available for approximately $35/day for a single room or $50/day for a shared room, for more accomodation information please see the Conference Location and Accomodation page for AdHoc NOW 2006.

Participants are expected to arrive in the afternoon or evening of Sunday, August 13. The school itself will begin on Monday morning and end Wednesday evening, August 16.
