Reimbursement of Travel expenses
The members of the EUROGRAPHENE programme will receive partial reimbursement of travel expenses. The exact amount of the reimbursement will depend on the number of applicants. If the number of eligible applicants does not exceed 40, the organizer will reimburse up to 300€ per participant for travel expenses. Please check the Rules of Reimbursement for the detailed instructions regarding travel expenses.
Rules of reimbursement:
- Rules of reimbursement are based on the document Guidelines for Network Activity, which is set by the European Science Foundation. The participants should arrive and depart as close as possible to the beginning and end of the workshop (i.e., usually, one half-day before and after the activity). In case a participant has been on non-workshop business either before or after the meeting, the Organiser should only cover expenses incurred by participation at the workshop, unless the stay extension or the travel itinerary is justified by a significant reduction in cost (e.g., from reduced air fares).
- Air tickets should be tourist class (or at a lower rate if cheaper tickets, e.g. PEX/APEX, are available). To benefit from the most economical fare, early booking is essential. Where no price is indicated on the ticket, the invoice must also be provided by the participants to the Organizer.
- Train tickets and train supplements may be first class.
- Taxis should only be taken when convenient public transport is not available.
- Cancellation insurance will only be reimbursed for economy ticket. Costs of health, life and luggage insurance are not reimbursed by Organizer.
- Use of private car (including road tolls and fuel) will be reimbursed, unless otherwise agreed in advance, on the basis of 1st class train fare or, for longer distances, on the basis of the APEX airfare where this is more economical. An estimate of the fare from a certified travel agent should be produced with the claim for reimbursement. For short journeys by car where no public transport is available and therefore no estimate of fare can be provided, the number of kilometres covered should be indicated. When two or more participants travel together by car, travel costs are reimbursed to only one participant.
