Country team members travelling more than 2 hours can negotiate their commitment.
The selected student agrees to attend the competition for the full duration including the opening and closing ceremonies and the educational experience.

Parents/caregivers who can accompany their child must book and manage accommodation, flights and daily transport for the entire championship.
