GO.INVESTIGATIO fellowship holders have the option of applying for a travel expense allowance up to a maximum amount of EUR 800.
After the travel has been completed, the form for travel cost billing (Reisekostenabrechnung) incl. receipts (boarding pass, invoices, confirmation of payment) should be sent by email to Joanna Kölbel (joanna.koelbel(at)oeaw.ac.at). Only then can the costs be reimbursed.
The ÖAW guidelines on the settlement of travel expenses apply; accordingly, the following costs may be granted: travel expenses (flight and train costs) and accommodation allowances (no hotel or Airbnb bills!).
Any eventual lodgings expenses will be reimbursed on the basis of lodgings rates (cf. The Federal State’s Legal Information System, RIS (Rechtsinformationssystem des Bundes, RIS); the 2b lodgings rate applies).
The lodging rate can also be charged if accommodation does not cost anything. The lodging rate for Austria amounts to 15 Euro per night.
Per diems (Tagessätze) are not permitted.
For travel by private car, costs equivalent to a second-class rail ticket are accepted. Taxi bills will only be accepted if justified (e.g. heavy luggage).
Foreign health insurance
In addition, recipients can request a subsidy of max. EUR 300 to cover the costs of foreign health insurance. Please send us the insurance policy and proof of payment by email.
