Accepted registered attendees wishing to book their own accommodation at their own costs can view the many possible options available eg. on TripAdvisor, but be aware of their distance from OIST.

If you receive such a phone call or email, please bring it to our attention immediately by sending an email to workshop@oist.jp.

We have a very small number of full travel fellowships available for applicants from disadvantaged regions, representing about 10% of the total participants. However, these come with very strict regulations and, in particular, do not allow for stop-overs on the journey to Okinawa. OIST will book these tickets directly.   Please note that most participants will not be considered to be eligible for these full travel fellowships.  

 

Please let us know if you do NOT want to avail of the free accommodation provided in gendered twin-shared rooms in Seaside House and want to book your own accommodation at your own cost.

A submission confirmation and a referral requested message from OIST Groups will be sent to you within two hours.  We will let all applicants know the outcome of their application to participate in QCATZ by Aug 11 2024. Thank you for your patience.
