Registration and Reservation

Due to the size of the Haxthäuser Hof, participation is limited to 80 persons. Of these, 40 places can be booked by students at a reduced fee. Your place at the symposium is reserved once the participation fee has been received in full by our administration.
Places are allocated in the order in which participation fees are received by bank transfer (first come, first served). Payment at the entrance is not possible. If all places have been filled, further applicants will be placed on a waiting list and may be offered a place should one become available.

Friends of the Haxthäuser Hof Symposium will receive access to early-bird registration one week before registration officially opens.
