General Terms and Conditions for the DEUQUA 2026

Registration for the DEUQUA 2026 conference is available exclusively online via the website www.deuqua2026.de. The registration fee is per person and can be paid by bank transfer or credit card. The following fees apply:

Early bird discount (“EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION” until 30 June 2026):

  • Standard price: €180
  • Discounted price: €150 (for students, PhD students, pensioners, and unemployed people; relevant proof must be submitted at the time of registration)

Standard prices (from 1 July 2026):

  • Standard price: €220
  • Discounted price: €180 (for students, PhD students, pensioners, unemployed persons; relevant proof must be submitted)

Cancellation by the organiser:

The University of Freiburg reserves the right to cancel the event for reasons beyond its control, e.g. due to insufficient demand or a low number of participants, or for other important reasons beyond the University’s control (e.g. sudden illness of the majority of speakers with no possibility of replacement, force majeure). You will be notified of this immediately via the contact details provided in your registration. In the event of cancellation, any participation fee already paid will be refunded. Further claims for liability and damages that do not relate to injury to life, limb or health are excluded, unless there is intent or gross negligence on the part of the University of Freiburg.

 

Services:

Once payment has been received and, where applicable, proof of eligibility for the reduced rate has been provided, both ‘EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION’ and standard registration entitle participants to attend the following events as part of the DEUQUA 2026 conference:

  • Icebreaker
  • All sessions on offer
  • Workshops
  • Coffee breaks
  • Conference dinner
  • Guided City tour

Please note, however, that once the maximal number of participants is reached for the Guided City tour, we cannot guarantee the participation to this option anymore. In this case, a booking of this option is not possible anymore in the booking system. The accompanying programme (excursions, lunch, wine tasting, accommodation and travel) is subject to an additional charge and must be booked and paid for separately. Please note that some of the excursions involve a hike of up to 10 km. We require participants to be in appropriate physical condition. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to exclude participants from the relevant excursions. In such cases, no refund of the excursion fee will be made. We accept no liability for damage that cannot be proven to have been caused by us as the organiser of the excursions or by our staff.

Cancellations:

Cancellations are possible at any time; however, depending on when the cancellation is made, only a reduced conference fee may be refunded:

  • Up to 30 June 2026, 90% of the conference fee may be refunded
  • From 30 June 2026 to 31 August 2026, 75% of the conference fee may be refunded
  • After 31 August 2026, only 50% of the conference fee may be refunded.

For the Excursions and other events in the framework of our conference, the same cancellation policy apllies as mentioned above. 

Disclaimer:

We accept no liability for damage that cannot be proven to have been caused through our fault as the organiser of the conference (including accompanying events) or through the fault of our employees. We also accept no liability for the cloakroom. Contractual and non-contractual liability is limited to cases of intent and gross negligence, unless the matter concerns a breach of a material contractual obligation or injury to life, limb or health. The same applies to the liability of legal representatives or vicarious agents. Liability for damages arising from the breach of an essential contractual obligation is limited to compensation for the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.To ensure that conference participants have a pleasant stay in addition to the professional programme, we are keen to accommodate special requests within the scope of our capabilities; however, we cannot guarantee this. The catering included in the price takes various dietary habits into account; however, this does not entitle participants to individually tailored meals.To facilitate better planning, we recommend that you inform us of any allergies or other intolerances when registering.
