This opportunity is there and no travel costs, so why not take it?
In any case paying the 100 euros is not that bad, especially since there would have been no additional travel/subsistence costs to pay.
Quote:9. Costs: The costs for travel, board & lodging will be born by the sending federation, club or participant. There will be no participation or FIDE fee (100 euros), as this seminar is sponsored by FIDE in cooperation with the Norges Sjakkforbund. All refreshments and snacks throughout the seminar, as access to Internet and handouts and examination, will be free. A relative book (TRG Syllabus) containing all the lectures will be distributed for free among the registered participants.
