Funding information

The conference is organised by and benefits from the funding of the COST MP1403 network "Nanoscale Quantum Optics". This funding will be used to reimburse part of the expenses related to the conference organisation and also to reimburse the travel and stay of the invited and contributed presenters.

COST funding to attend this event will be awarded competitively, based on the strength of the submitted abstract. Funding is only available for a limited number of delegates, so kindly let us know if you will be able to cover your own expenses.

REIMBURSEMENT RULES

Reimbursement from the COST MP1403 network budget will be available for a limited number of COST MP1403 network participants under the rules of the COST network, and will happen after the conference.

Update (October 14): We have explicitly informed everyone who will be covered by COST funding. If you have any queries, please contact us at nqoesrmalta@gmail.com

The per diem contribution will be expected to cover accommodation (shared room) and all other expenses except for travel costs. Lunches, dinners, and coffee breaks are provided as part of the conference.

Reimbursement from the COST grant will separately travel costs (flights, trains, bus). The average travel cost per person is expected to be no more than €300. Those flying/travelling longer routes will be able to claim higher travel costs within reasonable limit. Please be aware that COST reimburses taxi costs only at night (22:00 to 07:00), or when there is no public transportation available.

An additional conference fee of €155 will need to be paid to complete registration. Since the fee is not reimbursable from the COST grant, participants are expected to cover the fee from other sources. If payment is not possible, requests should be made to nqoesrmalta@gmail.com with a statement explaining the exceptional circumstances.
