Editorial commentary
Travel costs follow sponsor and institutional policy on per diem rates, class of travel (typically economy / coach), receipts, and approval. US federal awards apply the Fly America Act for international travel on federally funded grants. Horizon Europe and UKRI typically follow recipient-institution travel policies, provided costs are reasonable and project-related. Travel costs are increasingly examined under sustainability lenses; some institutions require rail-over-air for journeys below a defined duration. Conference attendance is generally eligible if linked to project dissemination.
