    Team,<br>
    <br>
    We need to clearly separate business vs personal expenses when we
    are on the Auton lab business travel.<br>
    <br>
    For instance, any stays extended or enhanced for personal purposes
    (sightseeing/visiting) over the duration of each trip beyond what is
    directly required by business needs, cannot be funded by any of our
    research projects and everyone would have to cover these parts of
    their costs from their personal funds. <br>
    <br>
    Please keep that in mind when submitting your requests for
    reimbursement.<br>
    <br>
    It is best to separate business vs personal costs upfront, and only
    submit claims for the business-related part. It actually saves time
    and hassle.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks<br>
    Artur<br>
