Trips for interviews

Travel expenses arising from interviews at Universität Hamburg can only be reimbursed if the University has issued a written invitation containing information about whether and to what amount costs may be reimbursed.

Individuals not employed by Universität Hamburg but who have been invited to travel to the University and have been reimbursed by the University for their travel expenses fall into the group of “external guests.”

This includes, above all,

• research associates from other universities and research institutions;
• all students enrolled at Universität Hamburg;
• scholarship holders;
• doctoral candidates (excluding: staff employed at Universität Hamburg under a contract pursuant to the collective wage agreement for public sectors of the German states (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst der Länder, TV-L));
• guest lecturers without a fee agreement or service contract;
• visiting scholars ( not employed by Universität Hamburg, but coming on the basis of a special agreement e.g., fellowship agreement, funding program, etc.);
• adjunct lecturers with a teaching contract at Universität Hamburg.

Persons invited to interviews at Universität Hamburg also fall into this category.

A simplified reimbursement procedure applies to guests/externals (no Work-Related Travel Request Form / Travel Expense Claim required).
