Applicants will be required to demonstrate:
- Appropriate seniority of position;

All nominations are reviewed by the Selection Committee, which seeks to achieve the optimum balance of participants at each seminar in terms of geographical spread, industry sector, gender, and area of expertise.

Bursaries
A small number of places on each Seminar are reserved for senior-level representatives from the public sector and international NGOs who are working closely with the corporate sector, and require an understanding the response of the business sector to the challenges of climate change. Public sector and NGO participants are required to be of an equivalent level to the corporate participants.
A limited number of part-bursaries are available covering a percentage of the programme fees to support the participation of delegates from developing or emerging economies, or from NGOs who would otherwise be unable to participate.

Terms and Conditions
Acceptance on to a Programme
Acceptance on to a programme is by application and selection only. All applications are reviewed by the Selection Committee, which seeks to achieve the optimum balance of participants on each programme in terms of geographical spread, industry sector, gender, and area of expertise.
Delegate Participation
The CPSL seminar/workshop process involves group work which can be disrupted by the absence of a delegate from any part of the event. Participants are therefore required to be in residence on-site throughout the programme and be able to attend all sessions.
Membership of the Cambridge Sustainability Network is also conditional upon full attendance.
Applying for a Visa for Entering or Studying in the United Kingdom
Please note that all programme participants are responsible for arranging their own visa for entry into the UK, should one be required. CPSL can provide an official invitation letter for the programme in order to facilitate the obtaining of a visa specifically for the dates on which the programme takes place. If you will require this, please contact us no less than four weeks prior to the programme date.
Payment
Programme places are to be guaranteed with a purchase order number or credit card details. Invoices are payable within 30 days of invoice date.
Bursaries
On certain programmes, a limited number of bursaries are available to support the participation of delegates from developing or emerging economies, or from the public sector or NGOs who would otherwise be unable to participate.
Cancellation
In the event that a delegate wishes to cancel after he/she has been accepted on to the seminar, he/she shall be liable to the University for the fee unless the place can be refilled. Substitutions are not automatic; each proposed substitution must be reviewed by the Selection Panel. If you wish to cancel and we are unable to fill your place, fees will not be refunded. However, a 25% discount on a place at a subsequent seminar will be offered, subject to availability of places..
Accompanying Spouses/Wider Participation
Unfortunately it is not possible to cater for accompanying spouses or other guests. The seminars are very intensive, and numbers of participants restricted, thus only delegates and speakers may attend the sessions.
Non-Payment
In the event of non-payment, we reserve the right to refuse admittance to programme events. Within accredited programmes, submitted assignments will not be assessed and the candidate will not be recommended for an award of credit.
