International Summer School on the Digital Library 2002

Administrative details

Fee
You can apply for one or multiple summer school courses. It is possible, and in some cases even advisable, for more persons from the same organisation to each follow one of the courses. Thus, e.g., the library director can attend one course, the instruction librarian another one, and the IT librarian a third one. To get maximum benefit from the courses on The Management of Change, we advise libraries to send more than one delegate from their institution to this course (2 - 3 ideally).

After receiving the application form, Ticer will send you an invoice, which should be settled within 42 days. The course fees are payable in Euros and in advance. All fees are payable, unless cancellation has been received under the terms stated further on.

Discounts
Organisations registering for more than one course or registering more than one person, will be given a 150 Euro discount per person, per course, provided that registration forms are received on the same day and the courses are invoiced on the same invoice. Other discounts do not apply.

For participants of one of the former Ticer Summer Schools, there is a special discount of 150 Euro per person, per week. Other discounts do not apply.


Value Added Tax (VAT) and foreign participants
For the two Summer School courses which are held in the Netherlands, Ticer has to comply with Dutch tax law. We are therefore obliged to add 19% value added tax (VAT) to the fee of these courses. For you as a foreign participant, it is possible to get the VAT back from your country's tax authorities, because it can settle things with the Dutch tax authorities. Please contact your own tax authorities for more information.

Scholarships
Ticer cannot provide scholarships. We do not know of any programme that provides scholarships for short Summer School courses like ours.

Acceptance of application
Your application will only be accepted upon receipt of payment within 42 days. If you fail to pay your invoice within 42 days, Ticer has the right to accept other participants' applications. Upon receipt of payment, your name will be mentioned in the list of accepted participants on our web site.

Cancellations and substitutions
Notice of cancellation in writing or by telefax must be received at least 90 days before the start of the course. For cancellation and refund of the course fee, a handling fee of 150 Euro will be charged. Cancellations received after this date cannot be accepted for refund. Substitutions may be made at any time.
