Travel expense reimbursement for interview trips

We were delighted to meet you. If you have any questions after your visit, please feel free to contact us at any time — we look forward to hearing from you.

The Max Planck Society considers it important that all applicants have equal access to the application process. That is why we reimburse travel expenses for interviews — and this has no influence on the decision in the application process.

How it works:

1. Download the application form and the information sheet on travel expense reimbursement.
2. Fill out the form completely and submit it to us within three months of the interview — by email or letter.
3. Please include tickets, flight tickets, and any invoices (as separate PDF files if sending by email, or originals if sending by post).
4. Reimbursement will only be made if the total costs amount to at least €10 (e.g., travel expenses or accommodation up to €50/night).

Important notes:

• Travel expenses incurred locally – e.g., travel from your place of residence to the train station or a taxi from the hotel to the institute – will not be reimbursed. Reimbursement applies exclusively to the main journey (e.g., train or flight from your place of residence to the institution).
• The application for travel expense reimbursement is completely independent of the evaluation of your application.
