For PhD students, a limited number of bursary packages are available for those who wish to present their work at the meeting (either poster or short talk). This reduces the cost of the meeting to just £575 (early-bird rate), including registration, all meals and accommodation at one of the conference hotels (you should be prepared to share accommodation) and the banquet dinner. Students should submit their abstract (sample template enclosed) at the time of application to the Secretary, to qualify for the “Student Bursary Package”.

Students who wish to apply for the bursary package will need to apply directly to the Secretary together with their abstract. The bursary scheme is popular and to ensure fairness the scheme will be restricted to 2 student application per PI/research group. If successful, the Secretary will provide a code for you to register and make payment online. For students not presenting a poster, the normal costs of registration and accommodation (if required) apply, and students who do not wish to apply for the bursary package can register/pay online.

1. Retired/unwaged delegates: a discount of £200 will be deducted from your registration fee, reducing the fee due to £195/£255 for members and £255/£315 for non-members. You should enter the discount code 26LAKE200 when you register online.

2. PhD Students: a limited number of bursary packages will be offered, for an all-inclusive fee of £575 (early-bird rate). Students should apply directly to the Secretary with their details, submitting an abstract for poster/oral presentation, and if successful the Secretary will supply a code for registration and payment online. The cost includes the registration fee, accommodation at a conference hotel and all meals, including the banquet.

3. Please indicate whether you are bringing an accompanying person when you register online. Please then contact the Secretary at heterocyclicgroup@gmail.com with the name of your accompanying person. Accompanying persons are especially welcome at this meeting – the Lake District is an excellent centre for visitors. There will be an accompanying persons’ programme, including visits to local sites of interest during the morning scientific sessions and social activities during the evening scientific sessions. If you wish to find out more about the Accompanying Persons programme, please contact the Secretary. Registration is free for accompanying persons, but the normal accommodation rates apply. You may also have to pay small costs (e.g. for entrances or refreshments) during excursions.

4. The banquet will take place on Wednesday evening. Delegates can purchase either one or two banquet tickets (if bringing an accompanying person) when registering. There will be no alternative meals provided in the two primary hotels on the Wednesday evening, and there is no charge for a Wednesday evening meal in the accommodation packages.

5. If you wish to use either ‘The Inn’ or ‘Bridge House’ (full board delegate offer), this needs to be booked through the Group and a non-returnable deposit of £200 is required at the time of registration; the remainder to be settled with the hotel upon departure. Please send the attached accommodation request form, indicating your preferences, to the Secretary. You will be contacted with your allocated hotel information after registration closes. If you are not planning on staying for the full duration of the meeting, please inform us, so that you are only charged for the nights you are staying. We are happy for people to arrange their own alternative accommodation.

The deadline for EARLY-BIRD registration is 28.2.2025, and for all other registrations is 28.03.2025.

All participants other than students applying for the bursary package: online registration with payment by debit/credit card using the online registration link, which will open by mid-December 2024. Delegates wishing to present should send an abstract, using the attached template, to the Secretary.
