Costs and reimbursement
The exchange is covered by the twinning program, i.e. by a scholarship. It includes international return flight, visa, basic travel insurance and workshop participation as well as a living allowance for accommodation, local transport and daily expenses. The living allowance is 40 EUR per day; the total amount disbursed to each participant is calculated according to the number of days he or she spends abroad as part of the exchange.
One of the participation requirements is a 100 euro fee. The invoice for this will be sent to you together with the reimbursement documents. To get reimbursed for your costs, you will need to provide the receipts for all the costs that are not under the daily allowance. So you need to buy your flights, visa, and insurance and cover your internal travel in China for work reasons (except the joint workshop), and you will be fully reimbursed afterwards.
