Grants and Allowances

The small travel allowances (up to € 300 allowance; the application has to be at the GSGG office three weeks before the commencement of the journey at the latest) allow for flexibility for short-term conference and research trips. The executive board decided at its meeting on 13th July to establish a minimum for this funding line:

  • The proposed funding sum should amount to at least € 25 (both research and conference trips)

Conference trips:

  • If you participate in a conference without own contribution and therefore are allowed to apply for up to 25% of the total costs, the total costs have to amount to at least € 100.
  • If you participate with a poster and therefore are allowed to apply for up to 50% of the total costs, the total costs have to amount to at least € 50.
  • If you give a presentation and are therefore allowed to apply for up to 75% of the total costs, the total costs have to amount to at least € 33.35.

Please understand that we cannot process smaller amounts because the administrative expense would be appreciably higher than the amount to be refunded.

The board has extended the scope of the funding line “Barrier-free qualification and networking”:

  • All docotral members can apply for funding to reimburse sign language interpreters or assistants for blind persons. Thus, not only members with disabilities will find a barrier-free setting, but also our guests from other universities.
  • Until the establishment of a central fund, GSGG will cover costs for interpreters/assistants on request of the respective examination office.
