Individual travel grants for the parallel lecturers are limited to €500.
Dates and Reimbursement Procedure
National associations apply for the travel grant for the parallel lecturer(s) to the ESSE Secretary (esse.secretary@outlook.com), at least three months before the ESSE conference.
After the conference, the national association submits the expense documentation (Please use the ESSE Expense Form, and check the ESSE Budget and Reimbursement Guidelines) to the treasurer of ESSE (esse.treasurer@outlook.com).
The funding is transferred to the national association’s bank account.
