Team Composition:
A team must be at least 50% undergraduates. We allow graduate students who are in the early stages of their studies to join a team.
Regular Registration: $980 (1 Faculty Advisor + up to 5 students)
Each additional student on a team: $170
Early Registration discount: Get $100 off the Regular Registration fee per team thru 12/31/2023
Extra team discount: Get $100 off per team of up to 5 students registered under the same advisor

Example: An advisor registering two teams of up to 5 students each prior to 12/31/23, will pay: $880 + $780 = $1660 for registration.

Registration fees will not be refunded, except for unavoidable circumstances. In that case, the team will be charged their part of expenses incurred at the point they exit the contest.
For example, if WERC has already ordered synthetic solution for your task, the cost of materials will be subtracted from the fees you paid.
If WERC must transition to a remote contest, we will re-calculate cost of participation and will refund a portion of each team’s fees, if warranted.
