Financial support for your change of research environment

If your change of research environment lasts for at least four weeks in total and is completed at a research institution abroad or in Denmark outside  of the Capital Region of Denmark or Region Zealand, you can apply for financial support from the Graduate School to cover travel and study related expenses.

You can apply for financial support before, during or after the stay. If the Graduate School approves your application, the grant will be transferred to your workplace, usually within a month if you are employed at UCPH. If you are not employed at UCPH, your workplace must send an invoice to the Graduate School to have the grant transferred.

 

  • Travel expenses related to your change of research environment.
  • Visa, rent, local transport, health and travel insurance (please check first whether your work place covers travel insurance).

Travel expenses related to journeys for personal purposes, food, groceries, personal insurance, admittance fees,  and participation in congresses and courses are not covered.

 

 

The maximum grant is up to DKK 20,000 for the first month and up to DKK 5,000 for each of the following five months.

For the five months after the first, you need to be away for at least two weeks during a month to access the grant for the month. If you have more than one stay, this is calculated based on the total duration of your stays.

The maximum grant you can receive during your PhD programme is DKK 45,000 (equivalent to a six month stay). 

 

 

  • Obtain documentation of your stay from the host university/institution.
    This may be a confirmation letter or email correspondence stating the duration of your research stay.
  • The documentation must contain the institution signature or logo. If you're staying at different host universities/institutions, you need documentation from all of them.  
  • Prepare a short statement explaining the connection between your stay and your PhD project.
  • Obtain project account information from your department (UCPH employees only). 
    Please be aware that the Graduate School can only transfer grants to DR10 accounts.
  • Remember to follow UCPH's travel and procurement rules if you are employed at UCPH. Read more at Kunet-Booking travel.
  • Submit your due regular assessments before applying for financial support.

 

 

Apply for financial support via PhD Planner.

You cannot apply for funding for fewer than four weeks at a time.

Processing time of your application is approximately 14 days.
