      According to the NAWA program, each participant will receive reimbursement for travel costs up to 2,000 PLN and 500 PLN for each night of accommodation, with a maximum of 1,500 PLN for three nights. Therefore, for three nights and travel, we can reimburse a maximum of 3,500 PLN. Since time is limited, in this situation, reimbursement will be based on the refund of costs. Unfortunately, participants will need to cover the expenses upfront and provide us with: travel receipts (no need for an invoice) and an invoice from the hotel, along with a bank statement confirming the incurred costs. We will fill out the application on-site and submit it to the Finance Department, requesting a refund of the funds to the participant's account.
