      I will transfer the participation and other services fee to the OTP account 11705008-20452337 based on the fee request sent, indicating the fee request number and the name of the applicant. I understand that if, despite my application, I do not participate in the conference or professional training for some reason, I cannot claim the paid amount back (if I have not paid the price of the services previously, I am obliged to pay it afterwards). The organizer will not assume the public charges payable after the coffee breaks included in the participation fee, as well as other benefits. This will appear as a separate item on the invoice. The application will become final after the amount has been received, for which the organizer will send an invoice (automatically) after the amount has been correctly filled in and transferred.

      Thank you for your application!

        A részvételi díj akkor is fizetendő, ha más szolgáltatást is igénybe vesznek. 75 év feletti jelentkezőknek, nappali tagozatos hallgatóknak a szakmai továbbképzésre kell, de a Geotechnika konferenciára részvételi díjat nem kell fizetniük. A választás szerinti részvételi díj tartalmazza szakmai tagozati továbbképzést (a kamarai továbbképzés igazolását az FMMK közreműködésével), a konferencia előadásainak hallgathatóságát, a kiállítás látogathatóságát, kávészünetet, a konferencia előadások összefoglalóit tartalmazó kiadványt (papír vagy online).

        Az MMK Geotechnikai Tagozat tagjainak a „Két konferencia napon való résztvétel (Online – 2026.10.12., Offline – 2026.10.14. / Offline – 2026.10.13.-14.) vagy az MMK továbbképzési nap (Offline – 2026.10.14.) biztosítja a szakmai továbbképzést.

        A részvételi- és egyéb szolgáltatások díját a megküldött díjbekérő alapján az OTP 11705008-20452337 számlára, a díjbekérő száma és a jelentkező neve megjelölésével átutalom. Tudomásul veszem, ha jelentkezésem ellenére a konferencián vagy a szakmai továbbképzésen valamilyen okból nem veszek részt, úgy a befizetett összeget vissza nem igényelhetem (amennyiben a szolgáltatások árát korábban nem fizettem ki, úgy azt utólag köteles vagyok kiegyenlíteni). A részvételi díjban szereplő kávészünetek után, mint egyéb juttatások után a fizetendő közterheket a szervező nem vállalja át. A számlában ez külön tételként jelenik meg. Az összeg beérkezése után válik véglegessé a jelentkezés, melyről a helyesen kitöltött és átutalt összeg után (automatikusan) számlát küld a szervező.

        Köszönjük jelentkezését!
