The workshop registration fee is 400-450EUR1 and it includes:
Accommodation from Sunday to Friday (5 nights).
Breakfast, lunch, and dinners at the accommodation.

We will provide you shared rooms at Le Clos du Vas in the mountains of the Hautes-Alps, in Briançon. More information available in the Venue section.
Grants
We are always working as hard as we can to make sure that everyone who is interested in the winter school has a fair chance to attend. More information on grants may be given once the application process has started, so please keep checking our website and socials so that you don’t miss out!
For any questions about the application process, feel free to contact us by email.
Travel grant
We aim to enable all students independent of financial means to attend the winter school. Therefore, we have reserved a limited budget for travel grants. If you are applying for a travel grant, you may upload a separate motivation letter and a list of the needed funds in the application (a different document that the cover letter for the application). With the acceptance letter, we will notify you with how much money we can support you. In case the required budget exceeds the available funds, we might not be able to cover all your needed costs.
Scholarships for Events on Complex Systems (SECS)
The Young Researchers of the Complex Systems Society offer a Scholarship for Events on Complex Systems (SECS) to encourage young scientists to participate in events related to complexity science. As WWCS organizers, we have no control over these grants, and these are not exclusive to WWCS participants but to everyone attending any event. However, if you have any financial difficulties, we strongly encourage you to apply after receiving confirmation of acceptance.
Find more information on how to apply at their website.
The price of this registration fee will be momentarily kept as a range, however we aim for this fee to be as low as possible. Please check our website and socials for updates, and email us for further information if needed. ↩︎
