• The maximum allowed hotel cost per night for this meeting is 100Eur.
  Breakfast is not re-imbursed by COST, so it must be included in the hotel cost.
  The local organizers have negotiated an excellent price with a local hotel (see below). You are encouraged but not required to book in this hotel (this simplifies transportation/meeting logistics).
• The maximum flight cost for this meeting is 400Eur.
  If you exceed this amount, you have to provide proof via e.g. skyscanner that there are no cheaper flights than yours. With this information, you should then request permission for the higher cost before you buy your ticket by contacting the action chair (Hans.Vangheluwe@uantwerpen.be). Note that this limit was a necessary condition to get our Work and Budget Plan approved. All reasonable requests will be accepted.
• Lunch and dinner are paid based on a flat rate (no receipts required) of 20Eur/meal. The local organizers will arrange meals for us which we will pay for individually from this 20Eur/meal.
• Note that when the new budget got approved, COST again activated "strong authentication". This is incorrect however and has been corrected. This means you will have to send by post, your bills and signed TRR, even though the e-COST system will tell you otherwise! The COST office has informed us that it is not possible to change the notice about Strong Authentication in the e-COST mail message you receive when you are invited to a meeting, so you just need to ignore it.
