Travel

YFRSW participation includes financial support for travel costs to attend the workshop and Interspeech. While it is possible to participate in YFRSW more than once, only first-time participants will normally be eligible to receive financial support.

The exact amount of money we are able to reimburse depends on the amount of sponsorship we receive, and on the distance travelled by the participant. You must make your travel purchases yourself and submit the receipts for reimbursement during or after the workshop, so please don't lose your receipts. More details about reimbursement will be provided as soon as possible.

Eligible costs for reimbursement are:

• Round-trip economy class flight for the workshop participant

• Up to 7 nights in a hotel (16-23 September) for the workshop participant. You are welcome to share a hotel room, but if you do so, we will reimburse only your portion of the room price. The hotel bill should state the number of guests who were accommodated in the room so that your exact costs are clear. Alternatively, some hotels may be willing to divide the bill among guests in a shared room so that you can submit the bill for your costs only.

• Interspeech registration at the early bird student rate (including ISCA membership, if necessary)

No reimbursement is offered for:

• Poster printing

• Meals or other extra expenses (other than those included in the workshop and Interspeech)

• Participation in Interspeech tutorials or other satellite events

• Costs incurred by a travelling companion

• Extra travel days for personal travel

• Extra hotel days due to isolation with Covid (or other illness)

• Cancelled travel for any reason - it is your job to ensure you have adequate travel insurance to cover any cancellation!
