Following the Conference a claim form will be available from this page. In order to claim expenses you will need to provide the receipts for economy advance travel – claims will be processed and refunded up to the maximum amount awarded to your session. Note that subsistence, accommodation or additional registration fees are not eligible for reimbursement.
Diversity and Inclusion
The RES are committed to ensuring the conference is balanced and inclusive and actively promote diversity. We strongly encourage submitters to ensure Special Sessions have a good representation of gender, ethnicity and strive to incorporate views from a diversity of economic fields whenever possible. The RES understand that it might be difficult to consider all aspects of diversity and inclusion in anyone single special session and we will aim to achieve this commitment across the number of Special sessions. In this respect, we reserve the right not to accept a Special Session if this is obstructive to the expressed commitment.
