Academic staff are covered by the agreement on official travel and, therefore, you are entitled to reimbursement of any additional expenses in connection with a research stay abroad. The AU Finance, Travel Expense Account Unit has made a brief overview of expenses that may be covered by the university, as well as those not covered by the university, when going on a research stay abroad.

If you're a PhD student employed at Aarhus University, please note:
You are not automatically entitled to reimbursement for extra costs related to study abroad.
This is because PhD students are not covered by the agreement on official travel.
However, your faculty, department, or centre may choose to support you in one of the following ways:
Reimbursement of reasonable and documented expenses
Examples include meals, refreshments, and transport costs.
Payment of hourly or daily allowances

In connection with the posting of academic staff, the employing unit (faculty/department/school/centre) can decide to pay, to a limited degree, some expenses related to accompanying family.
PhD students are, in this connection, not considered academic staff and therefore may not have expenses for the accompanying family paid by the university.
