Standard rates will apply for registrations made after 16 August:

If you think that you will be unable to take advantage of the early bird rates for registration because of the time needed to obtain approval to attend, make travel arrangements or acquire a visa, please contact us at ICUIL2026@stfc.ac.uk to discuss arrangements.
