Our funding agencies require that we charge a registration fee during the course of the workshop. Registration fees include participation in the workshop, all workshop materials, breakfast, lunch, breaks and any scheduled social events (if applicable). Fees are $40 per person per day for faculty, researchers and "other", and $5 per person per day for postdocs. However, the registration fee is waived for undergraduate students, graduate students, DIMACS postdocs and DIMACS long-term visitors who are in residence at DIMACS. Fees for all DIMACS Members are covered through their institution's membership in DIMACS and therefore no DIMACS Member needs to pay the registration fee. If you work for a DIMACS institution and would like to become a member, please contact your unit's DIMACS representative for information on how to join. (See http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/archive/People/Unitlist.html for unit representatives) or send a message to spassion@dimacs.rutgers.edu.
Attendees who have been offered support should keep two rules in mind. Reimbursement for air travel can only be made for travel on US Flag Carriers, REGARDLESS OF COST. (For example, travel on airlines such as United, Continental, USAir, and others that are United States based are allowable. Travel on airlines such as Lufthansa, SAS, Air Canada and other airlines based outside the US cannot be reimbursed by DIMACS.)
The second rule to keep in mind is to get original receipts for all reimbursable expenses.
