The Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) and the OeAD do not guarantee that a stay at the destination or at the host institution is possible and harmless to health when a scholarship is granted. The scholarship holders decide themselves whether or not they want to embark on their study or research period abroad. The BMBWF and the OeAD do not assume any liability for any complications or any resulting additional costs or damages that may arise during the stay abroad, especially in the case of travelling to a country or area for which a travel warning exists. The conclusion of a sufficient health, accident and repatriation insurance valid at the destination as well as sufficient vaccination against Covid-19 to minimise the risk of falling seriously ill are strongly recommended. The scholarship holders are responsible for this themselves. The respective current conditions of the host institution regarding attendance/participation in person and the current entry conditions of the respective destination countries – also with regard to the Covid-19 situation – and the travel advice of the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs (BMEIA) must be observed.
