If you want to visit international congresses, like IADR-meetings, please pay attention to the registration fees.
It is often possible to register as a PhD-candidate, which saves a considerable amount of money. You must add a proof of candidate status to the registration form. Upon request, the research institute can send you a formal letter confirming your candidate status. Are you attending a IADR-meeting where your candidate status does not give you discount? Then it’s often still cheaper to become a member of IADR and then register for the IADR-member price.
