Funding for stays abroad

PhD students formally enrolled on a PhD study programme at the Aarhus BSS Graduate School can apply to their department for financial support for uninterrupted, long-term stays abroad. When applying for financial support, an invitation or other agreement with the host institution must be attached as well as a statement from the supervisor as to the relation between the stay and the PhD student's study plan.

Private grants

If an application has been made for private grants or the like for funding a stay abroad, the grants can be paid to Aarhus University. Please note that, in such cases, these grants will be administered according to the rules applied by the Danish state and Aarhus University as well as in accordance with any rules set out by the granting party.

If the grants are not paid to Aarhus University, but are administered privately, any questions as to the tax-related consequences are irrelevant to Aarhus University.
