The first travel allowance should be paid first upon taking up appointment and yearly after. The rates applicable are those established in the Work Programme and are based upon the distance (as the crow flies) in kilometres between the location of origin and the beneficiary’s premises. In case of secondment, the correction coefficients are applied with reference to the premises where the researcher is carrying out his/her secondment period.
