• Please book your flights ONLY after receiving the official confirmation from the Secretariat, unless you have an OFFICIAL POSITION IN JEF EUROPE or are a NATIONAL DELEGATE (Make sure to 100% confirm this with your section). In this case, and only in this case, you can book your flights immediately. In other cases, booking flights before confirmation will not be a guarantee of your confirmed participation.

• OBSERVERS from JEF CANDIDATE SECTIONS may apply as well. Should the section be officially recognised during the Congress, this section has the right to 1 DELEGATE, meaning that all current candidate sections should select his/her representative in advance (Statutes – Article 20, sub-article b (iv) (v)).

• The Congress will be held in English.

• If a visa is required for your travel to Spain and you require signed proof from JEF Europe that you will be attending the event, please email Andrew Micallef [e-mail].

• If you require JEF Europe’s Solidarity Fund to help with your participation in the Congress, you can apply for it here. Please note that the Solidarity Fund is available for a limited number of participants, as it depends on the co-funding and grants we receive. The deadline to apply is on 25th September 2023. You will receive a reply by 29th September 2023 the latest. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO ALSO APPLY VIA THE INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATION FORM.
