| Expenses | For students of the CUSO universities (Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Fribourg and IHEID) and of the University of Bern, accommodation and meals are covered by the CUSO. Travel expenses will be reimbursed based on a second-class half-fare return Swiss rail ticket between the university to which the student is attached and the location of the activity. This is equally valid for travel undertaken in a private car. Students coming from universities outside the CUSO network are also welcome to the summer school. The fees for accommodation and meals (including 3 nights in a double-room, breakfast, lunch, dinner and coffee breaks) amount to CHF 757.
