Recognised Emerging Countries

Based on classification systems of the World Bank (see "low-income economies" & "lower-middle-income economies"), the countries as listed in the table below are recognised by the congress organisers as emerging countries. Only delegates from these countries qualify for reduced conference fees based on their country of residence. The online application form will automatically recognise applicants from these countries (as they select their country of residence) and will automatically allow them to select the reduced fees - simply select the "emerging country" package upon registration. It is therefore not necessary to apply for reduced fees.

If you experience any difficulty in this regard, or you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact the organisers.
