FAQ: all you need to know about our spring school
Yes, there is an option to receive funding for your participation at the spring school. The program should be eligible for Erasmus+ short term mobility, which means that funding would be provided from your home university. Therefore, please contact the EPICUR and/or International Relations Office from your university. Usually (but it depends on the country), for short term mobility you get a daily rate of funding (in Austria it is around 70€). It does not depend on your financial / social situation.

When in Vienna, lunch throughout the week will most likely be fully covered. We can not offer specific financial support for transport and accommodation, so you would have to cover these expenses out of your daily rate. Nevertheless, we will connect you with other participants so you can search for apartments together and safe costs.
