Financials
The current cost estimation is €550,-. Please note that this is an approximation. This includes the train tickets, local transportation, accommodation, the company/university visits and planned breakfast. Any expenses outside of planned activities are for yourself. Think of drinks, snacks, dinner etc. during free time.
The current cost estimation can still change. Of course, we do our best to remain true to the initial cost estimate. If the costs turn out to be lower, we will reimburse you the difference after the trip.
After being selected you will pay €100 as deposit. This is non refundable if you cancel leading up to the trip. The rest of the payment will proceed in instalments. The first instalment of €250 is due May 31st, 2024. The second instalment will be due at the end of June.
To organise this trip, we need to make commitments and down payments in advance. By saying that you will participate in the trip, you are agreeing that we can take you into account for these.
We cannot provide a cost estimate for your own activities during the trip as that is entirely up to personal preference. Do note that Zurich in general is a more expensive city than Delft.
