VREF will respect existing rules and regulations regarding travel restrictions (particularly regarding international travel) due to the current COVID19 pandemic.
Based on these restrictions, VREF will reserve its right to approve travel applications during the pandemic. In 2022 and with reference to current international travel restrictions, VREF is willing to waive the requirement that mobility grants will only be awarded for visits to universities in countries outside the country in which the applicant is based.
VREF will thus consider applications for mobility grants to visit other universities *within the same country* in which the applicant is based.
