The
registration fee will be 180.00 convertible Cuban pesos (CUCs) to be paid in
cash at the time of accreditation. A convertible
Cuban peso (CUC) is equivalent to USD $1.0960 when bank transfers or credit
cards are used or the transaction is made in cash with currencies other than the
US dollar.
The
fee will be CUC $120.00 for undergraduate students (subject to presentation of
the relevant accrediting certificate) and CUC $100.00 for accompanying persons
wishing to attend all scheduled events.
Fees
include: Participation in all sessions of the
Conference, coffee breaks, farewell cocktail and certificate of

Foreign
participants are recommended to pay preferably in cash using euros, sterling
pounds, Canadian dollars, Swiss francs, Japanese yens or Mexican pesos, since
U.S. dollars are subject to an additional 10% tax when exchanged for Cuban
convertible pesos (CUC), of which you will get 0.87 CUC for one U.S. dollar (the
10% tax plus the profit margin of the bank transaction).
