It depends on where you are in the world. Around here, PhD students are
on (junior) academic salaries. For others, the general travel costs
would dwarf the potential 80 EUR savings rather quickly.  Notice also
that the fee includes the social programme and catering, which
unfortunately are rather expensive in Copenhagen.
