Events: on catering, digital events, Facebook events, calenders and booking venues.

Communication: on LUCRIS, press/media, social media and printed materials.

Finance

Budget

The board of the Pufendorf IAS has approved an itemized budget within a set cost frame for all Themes and ASGs. Effectively, this means that the institute manages all financial administration, no funds are paid out to groups, or departments.

The salary, for participation in a Theme, is administrated centrally, by the financial officers of the respective departments.

Any other budget items, as well as any changes, must be approved and planned with staff of the Pufendorf IAS.

The Theme cost frame is closed for expenses on the last day of term. Remaining funds stay with the institute.

Billing address

Please use our billing address, cost centre 859536, and invoice reference our institute administrator: 

Lunds universitet
Pufendorfinstitutet, kstn 859536
[Institute administrator]
Box 188
221 00 Lund

Do not forget to send us a specification of the order by email, including details like group name, chosen supplier, order, and specified cost to facilitate processing.

NB! LU does not pay for nor reimburse tips, if you wish to leave a tip you must do so on your own.

Visiting research fellows

Themes have the opportunity to invite an international vistiting research fellow to work with the group. The conditions are that the researcher has expertise of particular interest for the Theme’s work, and that the principal part of their academic endeavours, as well as current residence, is outside of Sweden. Additionally, the researcher must be able to work full-time alongside the group on site for at least one month. The fellowship can be extended to no more than a total of 3-4 months.

The group will need a verbal agreement with the researcher, before sending in a nomination with all essential details to the institute, at least one semester in advance.

The institute will handle the employment of the visiting research fellows, as well as questions regarding salary, terms, accommodation, travel and insurance. The budget for this is in addition to the Theme cost frame, and is administrated by the institute.

Travel

We ask that the groups themselves make bookings and travel arrangements with the procured agency BCD Travel Sweden AB through the self-booking system. At the start of term the coordinators are given travel booking rights for the Pufendorf IAS through LUCAT. However, any member may have the travel booking rights, simply email contact [at] pi [dot] lu [dot] se. Contact Via Egencia by email or phone:

Remember to send us a copy of the booking confirmation to our administrator. To make travel bookings, log in to the self-booking system. For questions and support, or group bookings, call or email:

Reimbursement of costs

If expenses cannot be invoiced we ask that costs be covered by an LU employed member of the group, to facilitate reimbursement. Use the form in Primula for reimbursement and ask whoever checks the reimbursement requests at your department to send the form to us at the Pufendorf IAS, cost centre 859536. Any original receipts and other documentation must also be sent to the Pufendorf IAS, HS63, Gisela Ferré Aramburu.

Add an event in the Pufendorf IAS calendar by sending us the date, time, venue, title, speaker and a short descriptive text, in both Swedish and English, well ahead of time. Also, specify if the event is closed or open to a more general audience, and whether you would like to advertise the event on the LU calendar.

If one of our venues is not available, or unsuitable for an event, contact the institute for help booking another venue.
