Conference fee

To respond several questions, we would like to point out that there is no conference fee to YISAC 2014, both for students and supervisors. Participants have to cover their travel expenses and accommodation only. However, Organizing committee deserves a right to limit the number of participants to provide and to maintain the inspiring and enjoyable atmosphere of the YISAC conferences.
