Travel Expenses

Budget category: Purchase Costs — Travel and subistence

Travel expenses are the only project costs that are based on unit costs and not actual costs!



Grant Agreement, Annex 2a

You can find the Grant Agreement in our Syncing SciLMi files to your computer "Erasmus+" folder.



Link to Unit Costs

Travel expenses are reimbursed as unit costs (not as actual costs). Please remember that you will get 80% of the amounts in the EU tables (= funding rate).

Unit Costs (Pre-Calculated) for SciLMi Meetings

Please refer to this table to find out how much funding you will get. You need to be logged in to access the spreadsheet.

Please note that you can use your "Indirect Costs" to cofund travel expenses if necessary.





How to read the table:



  • Column BG: eligible unit costs for a stay from Sunday to Wednesday 80% of eligible costs: the money you actually get



  • Columns BC/BD/BE: If a row is not empty, travel costs for the person have been included in the estimated budget. If more staff members than the budgeted people participate in the meeting, you will have less funding for the remaining meetings. You can, however, transfer money e.g. from the budget category "Personnel costs" to the budget category "Purchase costs — Travel and subsistence", if you wish (-> Budget / Budget Flexibility).
