Please note:

●  Let the travel grant form get checked and signed by the institute's directors, project managers, or doctoral supervisors

●  The supported amount of the travel grant from the department / from the project funds should be as high as possible! Please note that if the amount applied for is below 80 Euros, no allowance from institutes is necessary.

●  Please hand in the completed form to the responsible department secretary.

The travel grant will then be reviewed by the ECR representatives and approved by the faculty dean. Only trips approved by the directors of the institute / project managers / dissertation supervisors can be supported by ECR working group.

Step 2: Travel reimbursement via HR4U

After your travel allowances have been sighted by the ECR representatives and confirmed by the dean, please use the form for reimbursement (“Kostenersätze - Reisekosten”) on your HR4U account and start a new submission. If costs are separated between ECR budget and your institute/project, you need to split your invoices according to the amount granted and submit this form twice, once for the ECR budget and once for your institute/project.

Please note:

●  The travel reimbursement must be submitted until 6 months after the conference, by the latest
