Important notice for students:
Organising and planning an event requires time, effort and dedication from everyone involved, including coordinators, participants, speakers and suppliers. There is work behind every event that begins long before the event itself, involving financial, logistical and personnel resources.
For this reason, we ask you to respect the commitment of those organising these events. If you sign up for an event but are unable to attend for any reason, please inform us at least three days in advance. This will help to avoid inconvenience and disappointment for those preparing to present or run the event.
Additionally, for events that include catering or other supplies, the financial aspect must also be considered: food and materials are purchased based on the number of registrations. Last-minute cancellations do not always allow us to avoid waste.
Therefore, we ask that you register only if you are certain that you can attend. If your availability changes, please notify us promptly.
This will enable us to continue offering high-quality events and to respect the work of those who contribute to organising them.
Thank you for your cooperation!
