LARIM2013
25 - 30 November 2013, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil

(1) Deadlines for abstract and travel grant applications postponed to July 
15th

Due to numerous requests, we are extending by two weeks the deadlines for 
abstract submission and applications for IAU financial support for young 
astronomers. The new (and definitive) deadline is Monday, July the 15th.

The confirmation of the abstracts (short talks and posters) approved by 
the Scientific Committee will be available before August, 21st.

(2) Registration Fee

Until August 31st, the registration fee is R$600 for doctors and R$300 for 
students. After this date the fees will be R$700 for doctors and R$350 for 
students.

Payment of registration fee

The web-site has been updated in order to give instructions for 
participants that do not have an account in a Brazilian bank, for whom the 
preferred payment method is via PayPal. International bank transfer is not 
recommended due to the expensive charges. Participants are responsible for 
paying any charges levied by their bank for this transfer.

In the LARIM2013 ?Registration Fee? webpage there is a button (?Pay now?) 
that redirects you to the PayPal web-sit, where you can use your credit 
card number or your PayPal account to proceed with the payment of the 
registration fee. The Identification field can be used to inform the name 
of the participant that is being registered. Confirmation of the Payment

When your payment is concluded you shall receive an email from PayPal 
confirming it. Please keep this confirmation with you. If in a few days 
your name does not appear in the list of registered participants, do not 
hesitate to inform us. Cancellation Fee

If you cancel your registration until October 15st, 2013 we will refund 
the Registration fee but charge R$45,00 (transfer fee). Refunding will be 
made via PayPal.

If you cancel your participation after October 15st, 2013 or in case of 
no-show, reimbursement cannot be made.

participants (Oceania Park, Porto Sol Quality and Praiatur). We recommend 
participants to consider staying in one of these. Due to the limited 
number of rooms, we encourage you to book the hotel early, mentioning in

special rates. Transportation (between Florianópolis International Airport
