Travel reimbursement

The travel subvention is calculated from your home location to Brașov, Romania based on the Erasmus+ distance calculator.

For example, let’s say that Hans travelled from Rotterdam to Brasov (500-1999km) and his travel costs previously agreed with the organizers are 160 EUR. His travel subvention will be calculated as such:

for the first 100 EUR, he will get a 100% reimbursement, thus 100EUR;

for the next 60 EUR, he will get a 60% reimbursement, thus 36 EUR.

Total, he will get a reimbursement of 136 EUR for his costs of 160 EUR.

 

In case you will have all the justifying documents, you will be reimbursed in cash at the end of the event.

Otherwise, you need to provide all justifying documents by 20th of December 2018 and you will be reimbursed within 5 working days via bank or Paypal transfer and the transfer fees will be deducted from the amount.

 

IMPORTANT: An eligibility criteria is the possibility to travel to Romania without a visa being required. The organizers cannot offer support for the visa obtaining process because of the limited time until the event.
