Travel Expenses
NIAS covers travel expenses based on the following conditions:
- An international return ticket for fellows from outside the Netherlands:
- For Fellows living in Europe within 500 km from Amsterdam, an allowance equivalent to one return train ticket (max €0,25 per kilometre).
- For Fellows living in Europe 500 km or more from Amsterdam, an allowance equivalent to one return flight ticket (max. €500)
- For Fellows living outside Europe, an allowance equivalent to one return flight ticket (max €1.500)
- If a Fellow resides in the Netherlands and lives within 90 minutes (one-way) of the NIAS-KNAW building, as calculated from their hometown train station to Amsterdam Central Station, they are eligible for reimbursement of daily commuting travel expenses for traveling to and from the NIAS office, up to €250 per month. Train travel will be reimbursed based on the cost of a second-class ticket.
NIAS is committed to reducing the environmental impact of international travel and therefore does not reimburse air travel costs for fellows living less than 500 km from Amsterdam, and only covers costs for public transport. The cost of excess baggage and travel insurance will not be reimbursed.
Fellows living in the Netherlands who have been granted accommodation are also entitled to one 2nd class return ticket by public transport from their home town to NIAS in Amsterdam.
Parking costs incurred during the fellowship are not reimbursed. Family members’ travel costs are not reimbursed.
