Important before booking your journey:
Helmholtz and its centres are financed from public funds and are therefore bound by certain requirements when reimbursing travel expenses (basis: Federal Travel Expenses Act). Essentially, this is as follows:
- Flights within Germany and Europe: Economy Class
- Flights beyond: Business Class possible (not First Class)
- Train journeys > 2 hours: First class possible
- Train journeys < 2 hours: Second class
- Overseas flights should not exceed €4,500 (one-way); if necessary, the evaluators are asked to contact the UFZ.
Cost reimbursement:
Reimbursement applications must be submitted within six months, beginning on the day after completion of your trip. Later applications are not permissible (§ 3 Abs. 1 BRKG).
Please submit the scanned, unaltered original invoices, receipts and tickets for the travel expenses you have incurred (rail, air and local transport tickets, taxi receipts, parking tickets, boarding passes, etc.) in PDF format with the travel expense reimbursement form. The form can be found on the overview page.
