(*) Accommodation reimbursement only covers the days of the event plus the night before the start of the event. Application evaluation will take into consideration the expected cost per night, hence presented estimates should be reasonable.
(**) Visa proceeding fees will be reimbursed as long as they are specifically requested to attend the event for which the beneficiary got the grant. The cost of visa applications for other destinations will not be reimbursed.
(***) Beneficiaries of microgrants are strongly recommended to get travel insurance on their own so that they can be reimbursed for travel and accommodation costs in case the travel or event is cancelled and the microgrant can’t be claimed. The cost of travel insurance is not eligible for reimbursement.
After the above mentioned deadline, no applications would be accepted.
