**Target audience of the seminar
It is our priority for this year to increase a number of European female arbiters and especially in the countries with very low coverage. Our commission has prepared an overview of the current status of female NA arbiters in Europe based on the data provided by the Fide Arbiter’s office. This seminar shall be targeted on NA female arbiters to get their FA arbiter’s title.
Invitations will be sent to targeted federations by our Commission.
If we have few places available because of no response or no interest from the particular federation, we will provide them to public (only women) on base „first come, first serve.“

Registration: To register federations should send application with following details to: womenchess@europechess.org
