UK Astronomy Research Travel Expense Reimbursement

This program reimburses travel and subsistence costs for UK-based researchers at eligible institutions who visit astronomy telescopes to conduct competitively awarded observation time. Eligible applicants must be employed at a recognized UK research institution and have obtained pre-approval for their telescope visit before submitting a claim. Reimbursable expenses typically include transportation, accommodation, and meal costs incurred during the research visit. This scheme supports access to world-class astronomical facilities by removing financial barriers to conducting approved scientific observations.
