The IAEA has, however, limited funds at its disposal to help meet the cost of attendance of certain participants.

The application for financial support should be made at the time of nominating the participant. It should be noted that compensation is not payable by the IAEA for any damage to or loss of personal property. The IAEA also does not provide health insurance coverage for participants in meetings, workshops or training courses or for consultants. Arrangements for private insurance coverage on an individual basis should therefore be made. The IAEA will, however, provide insurance coverage for accidents and illnesses that clearly result from any work performed for the IAEA. VIII. WORKING LANGUAGE The working language of the meeting will be English. All communications, abstracts, and papers must be sent in English.
