Cancellation & Refund Policies

The Short Courses will take place in The Hague, The Netherlands, on 3 and 4 October 2025 at The Hague Campus of Leiden University. 
  1. Refund Policy: If you can no longer particpate in the short course, please note our refund policy:
    Cancellation Deadline Refund Percentage
    1 August 2025 50%
    1 September 2025 25%
    From 15 September 2025 No refund given








     

  2. Refunds will be given according to the Refund Policy in cases where a participant's visa is rejected. To be eligible for reimbursements, the ISI  requires a copy of your timely visa application. Particpants are responsible for applying for their own visas, including supporting documents requested for the visa applications, and any visa processing fees. Participants are expected to apply for their visas in a timely manner. Please note current visa processing times are longer than usual, and, in some cases, can even take a number of months to be processed. Refunds will not be given if the reason for visa rejection is that an incomplete visa application was submitted. Any refund claim will be considered by the ISI and its decision will be final.
  3. In the event the short course is cancelled due to lower than the minimum number of required registrations, the ISI will offer another course or a full refund of the registration fee paid by the particpant. Liability will be limited to the amount of the fee paid by the participant and there will not be any additional liability to the ISI or any other individual associated with the event organisation.
  4. A paid registration cannot be transferred to the credit of another participant’s unpaid registration. Each case will be reviewed on an individual basis by the ISI and its decision will be final.
  5. In extreme cases where cancellation by the participant is unavoidable due to special and unforeseen circumstances, the participant must contact the ISI for consideration of a (partial) refund minus €50 administration fee. The ISI will consider and its decision will be final. 
  6. In the event that the Short Courses cannot be held or is postponed due to events beyond the control of the ISI (force majeure) or due to events which are not attributable to wrongful intent or gross negligence of the ISI, liability will be limited to the amount of the fee paid by the delegate and there will not be any additional liability to ISI or any other organisation or individual associated with the event organisation.
