The supporting documents attached to the request forms will not be returned to the applicants. Do not submit original documents as supporting documents (invoices, receipts, tickets). Please make sure that all the documents you submit are legible.
Grant requests are analysed once a week. The notification of approval, of rejection, or of the need to submit extra supporting documents will be sent the the applicant by e-mail. Rejected requests are not returned to applicants.

The approved type 1 request and a copy of the invitation letter shall be attached to the request for the issue of the mobility order abroad, and subsequently to the financial documents. The request for issuing the mobility order abroad is submitted to the Registry Office, after filling in the section “Venituri proprii rectorat” (Rectorate's own financial resources) the mention “According to the approval XX/XX.XX.XXX ”. If the transportation to the conference venue includes a flight it is mandatory to attach to the request for issuing the mobility order abroad the form for the purchase of the plane ticket.
Approved type 2B requests are kept at DRI. The approved amounts are added in the virtual accounts of each UPT author. The amounts granted to PhD students are added in the virtual accounts of their doctoral coordinators. To check the amount accrued in your account, please contact Ms Andreea Rotaru, tel: 0256-403135. To use the funds from the virtual account, the account holder will personally request the issue of a confirmation by sending an e-mail to Ms Andreea Rotaru. When a confirmation is issued, the amount requested is deducted from the virtual account. A confirmation can be used for a single set of financial documents. The necessary details for issuing the confirmation are: the name of the account holder, the amount requested, and to which purpose the funds will be used. The same pieces of information are needed to transfer the funds from one virtual account to another virtual account. If the beneficiary of the transfer does not have a virtual account, please provide his/her personal identification number as well. The currency used for all Web of Science grant accounts is EUR. If the amount requested is in another denomination, DRI will convert that amount in EUR using the official exchange rate on the day of the request. Confirmations are picked up from DRI (Rectorate, Office 107, 1st floor) and will be attached to the financial documents and to the request for issuance of the mobility order abroad (if applicable).
