Full rate: The full rate is for those who will be taking part in all aspects of the summer school, including the lectures and research at archival institutions. The rate includes accommodation at the Ramada Encore Hotel in Belfast – bed and breakfast for six nights – plus five evening meals and five lunches. The rate also includes University of Ulster fees (at rates for EU and non-EU delegates), admission charges to all visitor attractions and transport throughout the week.
Non-residential rate: The non-residential fee is for those who do not require hotel accommodation, but will be taking part in the other activities during the week. This rate includes five evening meals and five lunches, University of Ulster fees, admission charges to all visitor attractions and transport throughout the week.
Non-participatory rate: This rate is for those, such as a spouse/partner/travelling companion, who wish to attend the summer school, but will not be taking part in the research sessions or lecture programme. The rate includes accommodation at the Ramada Encore Hotel in Belfast – bed and breakfast for six nights – plus five evening meals and five lunches. The rate also includes admission charges to all visitor attractions and transport throughout the week.
Additional information
The rate assumes that accommodation is based on two people sharing a twin/double room. If you are travelling alone and are willing to share accommodation we will endeavour to room you with a same-sex Summer School participant. If a single-occupancy room is necessary there will be an additional cost of £120 for the week.
Delegates with any special dietary needs or mobility problems should advise the Foundation of their requirements on registering so that adequate provision can be made.
Cancellations and refunds
Any delegate who wishes to cancel their booking before 31 March 2009 can do so without further penalty. For cancellations after 31 March there will be a penalty charge of 20% of the summer school fee. Any cancellations received within a two-week period prior to the summer school will be liable to a penalty charge of 40% of the summer school fee. Any cancellations received from individuals due to medical conditions will be treated as sympathetically as possible.
