The salary contribution may also cover part of the tuition fees, consumables and travel costs providing that there is sufficient funding left. Any unused funds must be returned to EASL by the Hosting Institution at the end of the PhD Studentship programme.

Additional allowances

(a) Mobility allowance – 500 EUR per month
(b) Family allowance – 500 EUR per month.

A family allowance will be paid in case the supported researcher has family obligations, In this context, family is defined as persons linked to the researcher (i) by marriage or (ii) a relationship with equivalent status to a marriage recognised by the legislation of the country or region where this relationship is formalised or (iii) as dependent children who are actually being maintained by the researcher.

Both the Mobility and Family allowance are paid directly to the fellow.
