Level of Grants to participants
The cost of the School per
participant comprises three components:
-
The Fees: 300 Euros
-
The Living Expenses: 1100
Euros
-
The Travel Expenses
to and from the school location
Part or all of the Fees and Living Expenses
above, as well as part or all of the travel costs may be reimbursed to
participants eligible for grants that CERN has obtained from the European
Union 6th Framework Programme.
Principles of reimbursement per
type of expenses
|
Fees |
The totality of the Fees,
that is 300 euros, will be reimbursed to EU-eligible participants |
|
Living expenses |
A fraction ranging from 50% to 100% of the Living Expenses (100 Euros) will be reimbursed to EU-eligible participants, depending on the
nationality of the participant.
See below for the table
providing the reimbursement fraction per country category. |
| Travel expenses |
A fraction ranging from 0 to 100% of the real travel
expenses
will be reimbursed to EU-eligible participants, depending on the
nationality of the participant.
See below
for the table providing the reimbursement fraction per country
category.
Maximum amounts
The reimbursement will not exceed
the maximum amount authorized by the EU-FP6 Marie Curie Actions. These
amounts are based on the direct ("as the crow flies") distance between
the working location of the student and the school location.
See below the table of
maximum travel allowances from EU-FP6 Marie Curie Actions rules.
Proof of expenses
Reimbursement will only take
place upon provision by the participant of the relevant transportation
tickets and/or invoices.
Eligible expenses
Only public transportation travel expenses can be reimbursed
(air plane, train, bus). Other types of expenses (car, taxi, ...)
will not be reimbursed. |

+ Direct distance (as the crow flies) based on latitude
and longitude between the place of activity of the participant and Naples,
Italy (the actual school location is Vico Equense, 30 km south of Naples;
for the sake of simplicity the distance to Naples is taken
into account and not to Vico Equense).
To provide this direct distance as requested on the
application form, you may use distance calculator tools available on
the Internet, such as the "How
far is it?" service from Indo.com. Beware to provide the distance
in kilometers, not in miles.
