Conference Fees

Because of UFF’s historical commitment to social equality and the personal convictions of the conference convenors, the ISHS 2026 adopted distinct registration fees for Global South scholars. Delegates from low and middle-income countries (aka Global South scholars) must pay less, reflecting the unequal financing conditions that scholars from these regions face.

Until now, delegates from Global South institutions have paid the same registration fees as those from the North, despite the clear economic disparities between them. Inflation and unfavorable exchange rates between Global South currencies and the US Dollar often make these fees amount to up to one-fifth of a scholar’s monthly income. This is an unsustainable and exclusionary practice. Recent conferences have showcased, for the first time, researchers from countries such as Zimbabwe, revealing the intellectual richness and originality that emerge when voices from the Global South are heard.

Scholars from the Global South can attend ISHS 2026 both in-person and online. In the latter case, if it is not possible to attend the event in-person, the delegate may choose to register for the Pre-Event Webinar, which will take place only online, as part of the conference’s parallel program.

Registration can be done in two distinct tiers. The first is early-bird registration, between January 19th and May 30th. The second is late registration, between May 31st and June 30th.

Please also note that Brazilian law prohibits charging registration fees for events held within the country in foreign currency. For this reason, the prices shown are in Brazilian Reais (BRL) and will be automatically converted to US Dollars (USD) or the local currency by your credit card company.

In view of these considerations, the fees charged to participate in the ISHS 2026 conference will be as follows:
