Faculty Travel Committee – Policy for Supporting Travel Expenses for Graduate Students and Technicians
Graduate students and technicians may apply for Dean’s support for travel to an international conference abroad (one trip per year) by submitting a request to the Faculty Travel Committee. Dean’s support is available to technicians and to students as follows: Master’s students (second year), PhD students (first four and a half years – 9 semesters), and postdoctoral fellows (first two years).
Following the implementation of a new computerized system in the Academic Secretariat, the procedure has changed. According to Academic Secretariat guidelines, travel approval must first be obtained through the computerized system. Additional information can be found at the following link:

Only after this approval may the request be submitted to the Faculty Travel Committee via the Faculty of Health Sciences Dean’s Office Secretary (Ms. Tzachit Fargo), within three days of receiving the computerized approval.
Requests approved by the Faculty Travel Committee will be forwarded to Ms. Lital Levi, Faculty Procurement and Budget Coordinator, for further processing, and notification will be sent to the applicant. After budget approval, all request forms and accompanying documents will be transferred directly to the Academic Secretariat for further handling.
All funding sources (internal and external) must be declared at the time of submission. According to Scholarship Fund regulations, additional funding requests will not be approved retroactively.
The Faculty Travel Committee convenes at the beginning of each month. Requests that have already been discussed will not be reconsidered. Requests submitted after return from the conference will not be reviewed.
Sincerely,
Faculty Travel Committee
Prof. Dan Levy – Chair
Prof. Adrian Israelson – Member
Prof. Tamar Weinstock – Member
