Yes, absolutely.  Please make sure the cheque is drawn in euros. and add 10 euros to the total to account for the charges that cashing the cheque will incur.  For the standard meeting please therefore make the cheque out to the value of 310 euros.

No.  We're sorry to say that although we are able to sponsor your participation to the extent of waiving the meeting fee for all locally based researchers, we are not able to pay your costs for travelling to the meeting or for your lunch each day.  We will provide free science (and free refreshments), but more than this will I'm afraid be at the discretion of the meeting organizer.
