Specification of travel expenses (matkalasku): .xlsx.
Note: Some of the doctoral education (transferable skills or scientific) courses are very popular and there is a long queue for the courses. In case registered participant does not cancel his/her but does not show on a course someone misses the opportunity to participate.
Therefore, if doctoral candidate does not show on two courses organized despite registration (and without cancellation) by the DSHealth/Doctoral programme within 12 months, he/she is not entitled to DSHealth/Doctoral programme travel grants in the next application round.
