Information for Awardees
In accordance with the current factual and legal basis according to §16 Abs.1 SächsRKG (“Sächsischem Reisekostengesetz” = Saxon regulations for travel and subsistence expenses) the GA Travel Awards are settled as a training trip (“Fortbildungsreise”) in the official interests of TUD (third party). This means that, in principle, there is no entitlement to payment of lumpsum daily allowance. The reimbursement of catering costs (if still available in the funding amount) is made on the basis of receipts (e.g. from purchases in supermarkets, restaurant visits, etc.), up to a maximum of the flat-rate daily allowance. The receipts must be submitted with the travel expenses claim.
