ORGANISING TRAVEL / BUSINESS TRIPS

Business trips and work-related travel for academic staff – including PhD candidates with an employment contract – and administrative staff must, in principle, be organised through the University and are governed, with regard to administrative aspects, by the Regulations on Indemnities and Compensation.
