GRANTS

You may submit your claim(s) in the following way(s)
Either:
On purchasing your main travel ticket (i.e. flight) - submit an expenses claim.
On your return, submit a further expenses claim for accommodation, subsistence and other travel costs.
Or:
Submit a total expenses claim on return from your exchange visit for travel, accommodation and subsistence costs.
All of the above expense (within the total grant amount) will be credited to you via payroll, subject to your compliance with the above procedures.
In the event of cancellation of the exchange visit, you would be invoiced for any funds already claimed and processed.
For all other European currencies, the appropriate exchange rate will be applied on the day your claim is processed by the International Office.
