Non-Flight Travel-Grants
The University of Bern is striving to reduce its CO2 emissions as much as possible, whilst maintaining its support for international exchange and cooperation. To this aim, UniBE International offers financial support to summer school participants who will travel to Bern without using air travel. Participants not living in Switzerland can apply for a travel grant.
Condition: You travel to Bern by public transport (train, bus, ship) without using air travel.
Depending on the country of origin, a maximum of the amount indicated in the scholarship list can be reimbursed. Participants will receive the money after they have arrived in Bern and handed in copies of their tickets. Bursaries are granted on a first come, first serve basis. If your country of origin is not listed, please contact: seba.topuz@unibe.ch
Participants traveling to Bern by airplane are encouraged to compensate for their CO2 emissions.
