The invoices are signed by the PhD student and the Dean.

Use of private cars for study-related purposes by PhD students UKW

• doctoral students may use passenger cars which are not owned by UKW for research purposes,
• for this purpose, the "Application for consent to use the doctoral student's vehicle for research purposes in PL"(Appendix No. 3), approved by the Director of the Doctoral School, the promoter and the administrator of funds, is considered by the Vice-Rector for Science.
• with a doctoral student who is used to use a passenger car not used for UKW purposes for the purposes of an efficient business trip  "Agreement for the use of the doctoral student's vehicle for business purposes" , which is signed by the Vice-Rector with the financial countersignature of the Bursar. When concluding the contract, the number of kilometers should be planned for its entire duration and the rate for one kilometer 0.5000 should be entered.
