Several project meetings surround the general assembly. If your organization is not a DIG-CON or ICIinSMEs project partner, you will unfortunately have to cover your own travel and accommodation costs.
Costs for all lunches, dinners and transfers in Budapest will be covered by the Hanse-Parlament and Hungarian Association of Craftsmen´s Corporations.
If there is no way for you to finance travel and accommodation costs yourself, the Hanse-Parlament can cover costs for individuals up to a maximum of 500 euros. In this case, please get in touch with us immediately, because the budget available to us for this is very limited.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our member, the Hungarian Association of Craftsmen´s Corporations, who made all the preparations for the smooth running of all the events and an unforgettable stay in Budapest with the greatest commitment.
