Fees and Travel Grants
Thanks to funding by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) the fee for the summer school is 80 Euro only. The costs for accommodation in multi-bedrooms, course materials, most of the meals and the local transport will be covered.
Travel grants will be available according to the DAAD regulations for non-German participants travelling from abroad. The amount depends on the country in which the participant's home institution is located. The DAAD list with the fixed rates is available here (in German only; relevant are the amounts listed in column 1/Spalte 1).
DAAD will cover health, accident, and third-party liability insurances for the duration of the summer school (provided that exact travel dates are available by July 5, 2013). The health insurance is valid for acute diseases only.
