Reimbursement of the costs for printing the thesis

Doctorate graduates have a right to claim a modest contribution to the costs for printing their thesis. The reimbursement for Amsterdam UMC / UvA PhD graduates is 500 euro net. This reimbursement can be claimed by all PhD graduates. How to apply is explained below.

The compensation for PhD graduates is charged on the unit that employs the PhD candidate or, when the PhD candidate is employed outside the Amsterdam UMC, the department/division of the PhD supervisor. The PhD graduate is entitled to this reimbursement; it is not a favour at the mercy of the supervisor. All divisions have been informed by a letter, communicating this decision by the Amsterdam UMC (formerly AMC) Executive Board

Note that you should send the declaration form no later than 6 months after end of employment and/or no later than 3 months after the defence
