[dcchairs2016] [Ubicomp DC] Travel Support

[Nadir Weibel]

Max, Rene (removing Alex from cc here).

Alex is our only US participant and he is Shwetak's student.

What should we offer to him as travel support? From Seattle to Frankfurt there is a very good 1-stop flight for $1,005 (see here http://goo.gl/flights/xM8b).

I am not sure about accommodation. I know that usually student share rooms, but he seems to be he only one requesting travel support.

One possibility would be to only cover transportation, rounding this to max $1,500, which should cover also taxis, trains, etc.

The additional possibility would be to book the rooms for the DC students all together (5x) and then get those reimbursed on my side from NSF... Not sure if it would fly though.

In that case, is there any particular accommodation (hotel) we can provide as part of the package?

I can reach out to Shwetak and make sure that I can get reimbursed on my side even if the students are not US...

What do you think?
