- Travel Costs up to 500 EUR/600 USD.
For the travel reimbursement, students are requested to buy travel tickets by themselves in advance and provide a copy of the invoice addressed to them. It is mandatory to provide the invoice to get the reimbursement.
If the Institute/University will cover the students travel costs, students can apply for the travel reimbursement only if they can provide us with an invoice and with a “Claim for Travel reimbursement Declaration” as an official confirmation about student’s reimbursement to the home institute. The Reimbursement is possible only to bank accounts addressed to private persons; we cannot reimburse money to Institutes/University!
Procedure: for students travel reimbursement, the student in person must come to the Conference secretariat office. Students will fill out a form sheet with some information. The reimbursement will be processed by DESY travel department and the amount will be transferred to student’s bank account in due time (around 3-5 weeks for the internal procedure).
Students need to provide us:
- Original travel tickets (Bus, Ferry, Flight, etc.) and the invoice for purchase (for flights - with the student’s name on it);
- Taxi costs are covered only if the student’s departure/arrival time is before 6:00 am or after 23:00 pm;
- Visa receipts (if needed).
For students from countries outside the Euro Monetary Union, we need a copy of ID with home address (it is a mandatory request by the bank).
If an Institute has paid your travel tickets, please provide in advance the above mentioned “Claim for Travel reimbursement Declaration”. Nevertheless, we also need an invoice with student’s name on it.
