(Federica Tuniz, Cristina Grillo, Alessia Quadarella, Sharon Kante)

When you are required to perform institutional activities elsewhere other than SISSA, such as to attend a conference, take part in scientific collaboration, Summer school and such like, we can help you to obtain reimbursement for your expenses.

The online form is available, together with the rules and guidelines on the webpage: https://www.sissa.it/research/missions

On July 22nd, 2024 the new Mission Regulation will come into effect (that can be found here https://www.sissa.it/sites/default/files/2026-02/Decreto%20con%20Regolamento%20missioni%202026%20ENG.pdf).

From July 22nd missions can only be opened through the new dedicated CINECA platform "Uwebmissioni

Missions already opened in the previous SISSA application can only be concluded through the same https://services.sissa.it/mission/

Our offices are situated on the first floor, please do not hesitate if you need to talk to any member of the team:

Room 103 - Cristina Grillo (tel.210), Alessia Quadarella (545), Sharon Kante (337)

Room 716 - Federica Tuniz (tel.456)

Lorena Bencina, Elisa Bosdachin, Sofia Cordioli

Rooms 105/106

We take care of forecasts and budgets of the Scientific Areas and Research Groups including Labs, IGAP, IFPU and ILAS. More in detail, we are in charge of what follows:

- As part of the annual planning exercise, we support each Area coordinator and the directors of IGAP, IFPU and ILAS in preparing the yearly budget requests, that are usually sent to the budget office in October

- We support the management of budget assigned by SISSA to the Scientific Areas, IGAP, IFPU and ILAS and constantly monitor the availability of funds during the year

(Please note that the Project Management Office, click to show email, is the reference for external grants)
