The Accessibility Travel Programme provides additional support for participation in EDN  activities for anyone with specific or additional access needs, whether related to their geographical position, financial situation, family care obligations, physical or mental ability. 

An average of ten accessibility travel top-ups of 300€ each can be distributed per year. This is additional funding for participants who receive EDN travel support.

Conditions

→ Open and available for anyone upon registration for EDN activities involving travel.

→ The top-up can be used for any kind of additional access need.

Application

Interested participants can apply for the accessibility travel top-up directly in the respective activity’s registration form.

Reimbursement

After having received a confirmation from the EDN coordination team, eligible participants will need to book and pay for their travel themselves, save all the receipts and get reimbursed after attending the activity.

Distribution Criteria

If there are more applications than accessibility travel top-ups available, the top-ups are distributed considering the following criteria in that order: 

Members (and their associates)

1. Balanced frequency of participation of members
2. Balanced regional/geographical distribution of participants
3. Order of registration

Independent applicants (if seats left after application deadline)

1. Balanced frequency of participation of participants
2. Balanced regional/geographical distribution of participants
3. Order of registration

When evaluating applications and registrations, the coordination team, in cooperation with organising members and partners, will dedicate particular attention to participants from underrepresented communities, regions or countries. In the process of supporting and assisting participants, the coordination team, in cooperation with organising members and partners, will provide personalised support for facilitating equitable access to all project activities.
