Please register for the symposium through the IGS symposium website. If you run into difficulties doing this, contact the IGS office directly (see the Contact page). Also, if payment by credit card is not an option for you, contact the IGS office to arrange for a bank transfer.
The 'Early-bird' deadline for registration is 16 March 2015. After 16 March, the registration fee will be as indicated in the table below. A late registration surcharge of 80 € will be added after 31 May 2015.

The fees include the icebreaker, the symposium banquet, lunch (Mon–Fri), daily morning/afternoon coffee, minibus service between the symposium venue and the various accommodation sites, and the mid-week excursion. Because of the limited size of the Hotel Lindarbakki conference room (130 seats), late registrations might not be accepted. The fees for non-members include online membership of the IGS for 2015.
The reserved accommodation and the main conference room will take up to maximum of 130 participants, so book early in order that the organizers can best manage the event. Registration will be closed when the number of registered participants reaches the maximum even if this happens before the registration deadline. Participants that have preregistered their interest in the symposium on the IGS web have precedence over others.

Travel support for young scientists
With the support of the University of Iceland, the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Landsvirkjun and the Icelandic Road Administration limited support is available to contribute towards the cost of registration fees, travel, accommodation etc. for the IGS Symposium on Hydrology of Glaciers and Ice Sheets, which takes place in Hornafjörður 21–27 June 2015. This funding is available only to students or those recently graduated. Please note that this funding will not cover your full travel, registration, and related costs, but is intended to provide seed funding to attract additional funding towards your attendance at the IGS 2015.
Please note that the abstract submission system is separate from the student travel support application and including your abstract on the support application does NOT constitute an abstract submission. You must submit an abstract through the IGS on-line abstract submission system in order to be considered for support.
