By participating in the EYMD you need to accept the following terms and conditions.

1. Participants need to be between 18 and 30 years of age at the time of application in order to take part in the European Youth Media Days (EYMD). Previous project commitment or involvement in journalistic work is useful, but not an essential requirement.
2. Participants are fully responsible for their actions and behaviour. House rules are on display and to be followed at all times. Participants in the EYMD are required to take part in all program elements and workshop sessions. Participants are expected to be actively involved in the event and to contribute with their own experiences.
3. Participants who do not participate in all program parts, repeatedly ignore the organisers’ instructions, disturb the event, disrespect the house rules of the European Parliament and other venues, or damage facilities, will be excluded from the event.
4. Travel for participants will be reimbursed by the European Parliament after the event, provided all required documents are handed in to a representative of the European Parliament at the event.
5. Accommodation will be reserved by the European Youth Press (EYP) and needs to be paid by each participant individually in advance.
6. All participants receive a per-night lump sum reimbursement of €90 for journalism students (total: €180) or €180 for journalists (total: €360) to cover their expenses for meals, local transportation and accommodation (see §5). This lump sum is paid by banktransfer, after presenting the requisite supporting documents communicated by the European Parliament.
7. If a selected participant cannot attend the EYMD, and fails to cancel participation at least 10 days before the event, they will be charged an organisational allowance of 100 Euro. In case of a sudden illness, cancellation is possible at a later point, provided a medical certificate.
8. The EYP and the EYMD are not taking care of insurances. All participants are responsible for their own medical insurance, travel insurance, cancellation insurance and insurance of their equipment.
