PhD funding for travel/conferences
Completion requirements
- If you require funding for travel/conference please speak directly to your Head of Group or PI to request approval for funding and agree the amount BEFORE submitting any claims to the SMS office. You may wish to do this via email so you have a record of what has been agreed.
- If you pay your for your own travel expenses, you should then reclaim this using an expense claim form (excel claim form / PDF claim form) which you will need to have signed by your HoG / PI before handing into the SMS office along with original receipts.
- If you would prefer to have your travel booked and paid for directly by the School, please obtain your HoG /PIs approval in writing (via email) first detailing the amount approved and the budget code, after which you can forward this to Paul along with full details of booking requirements. Paul can then assist with booking your travel/accommodation/conference fees.
- Please do not submit one of the old “absence on college business” forms as these are no longer in use.
