Traveling for conferences, workshops etc.

Before traveling you must submit a travel application (use mit-au login) and get approval before you make any reservations or payments.

Remember that you can only get expenses reimbursed that are included in the travel application. As a general rule, extra costs for luggage exceeding what's included in the flight are not covered by the department. Exemption for this might happen if the luggage is work related, however, only with prior approval via the travel application. More information about what can be covered by the PhD pool.

PhD students paid by CS (not including  those receiving SU + teaching salary) can get the daily allowance when traveling, while PhD students receiving SU must gather receipts for the expense claim in RejsUd.

Meaning; do you get your full income directly from CS/AU?

• Yes: Then you can get the daily allowance while traveling.
• No: You have to gather receipts while traveling and settle the expenses in RejsUd when returning home.

Find daily allowance rates here.

When your travel application has been approved, you can start making your travel arrangements:
