Travel Grant

An allowance of £300 per annum for travel to conferences is allocated to each student. This is a contribution to the costs of attending scientific conferences, workshops or visits to collaborators. You are permitted to carry forward the balance of travel money remaining from one year to another.

Any travel should be discussed and approved by your Supervisor prior to booking. 

You are responsible for booking your own travel. This should be arranged through Diversity Travel. For other expenses, please submit an expense claim to your locally held RTSG funds. Please contact your local finance contact if you are unsure how to claim your funds.

University of Glasgow Lead students should contact PrecisionMedicine-dtp@glasgow.ac.uk.

Note: Only original, itemised receipts will be accepted for payment, as required by the University's Finance policy. For example, we cannot reimburse you using only a credit card receipt showing the total amount paid.
