Travel Funding Applications

Guidelines:

1. A flexible budget for travel is available for GEAS PhD members during their first 3-4 years of study or research.
2. Note that the travel budget is available from GEAS, but GEAS will not be responsible for the reimbursement. The travel department at Freie Universität will check that your travel is within the Federal Travel Expense Act and will reimburse the travel afterwards according to the law.
3. Please try to always book or search for the lowest fares possible. Higher fares should be explained.
4. Please also keep in mind to book flexible tickets if your plans change and look for flexible cancellation policies.
5. Only salaried fellows are insured with accident insurance. It is recommended to take out private travel health and cancellation insurance (Reisekrankenversicherung; Rücktrittskostenversicherung).
