Limited financial support from our COST Action MP 1104 is available for some of the participants. All requests for financial support indicated in the registration will be evaluated by the SOC. Participants will be informed after June 1, 2014 if their application has been selected. If that's the case, you will have to register on e-COST if you have not done it before. e-COST is the online system used by COST to deal with reimbursements. You will be contacted by the Grant Holder of the COST action with details about the procedure.

According to COST rules, this funding can only be used for members of COST countries which have signed the MoU of COST Action MP1104 or members of pre-approved institutes from near neighbouring countries (in our case Ukraine). Both lists can be found on the COST webpage.

Once you receive a confirmation e-mail from e-COST regarding your funding, please book as soon as possible to avoid too expensive flights. Do not book flights/trains before receiving the official invitation (e-mail from noreply@cost.eu)

For subsitence expenses, COST reimburses fixed grants: 120 EUR per night for accommodation expenses and 20 EUR per meal. No invoices or receipts are necessary for these expenses. We will reimburse hotel nights from the day before the meeting at the earliest (Sunday, August 24) until the day after the meeting at the latest (Friday, August 29). Any other night will not be eligible for reimbursement.

Long distance travel expenses (flights/trains) are fully reimbursed (with a maximum of 1200 EUR). Car expenses are reimbursed at a rate of 0.2 EUR per km if you drive alone, 0.3 EUR per km if you drive with another participant or more. In the latter case, only the driver can be reimbursed. A Google map (or similar) must be provided as justification of the number of kilometers claimed.

For local public transportation (transportation in Stockholm), there is no need of any invoice if your expenses are below 25 EUR. If they are above 25 EUR, all receipts must be sent as justification. Note that a one week pass for unlimited use of public transport is above this limit.
