BEFORE BOOKING
Before deciding to attend an event, conference or meeting elsewhere, please seek approval from your Team Leader.
At least, two weeks before you travel, you will need to complete a TRVL form via EDH where you must include information such as:
- Dates and destination
- Type of travel and the purpose/reason
- Budget code
- Any additional costs such as conference fees
- Whether your trip will include a private stay
You are also encouraged to think about the π environmental impact π of your trip:

BOOKING

Once your TRVL form has been submitted and approved, you can book your tripβ. An βEgenciaβ button will appear in the TRVL form to allow you to do make bookings for: Planes βοΈ | Trains π | Boats π’ | Hotels π¨ | Rental cars at destination π
To note: Hotels can be booked via third party websites but everything else must go through Egencia.
Rental cars may be used if certain types of transport are unavailable or for official travel beginning in Geneva.
In exceptional circumstances, travellers may be authorised to use their own car.
RETURN
When youβre back, you will receive an automatic EDH notification to confirm your trip details.
Please remember to attach receipts (over 20CHF)!
Once this has been completed, your reimbursement will be processed.
