The calculation of the Student Representatives Unit’s ("Studienvertretung", StV) budget can be found at the end of the annual budget estimate ("Jahresvoranschlag", JVA). 
You can request a current cost center statement at any time via finanzen@htugraz.at. The department for financial affairs will then send you information about the StV's current expenditures and revenues, as well as the current available budget.

You should also check the cost center statement for accuracy, as small errors can always occur and some income may not yet have been accounted for.

By law, the Student Representatives Unit is entitled to 30% of the university student council’s budget. At HTU Graz, however, 35% is budgeted for the StVs each year and distributed based on student enrollment figures.

The head of the department for financial affairs is responsible for all expenditures of HTU Graz.

The rate is €120 per person per night, including meals and the local lodging tax.

The trainer’s fee is €100 (excl. VAT) per 90-minute session. A maximum of €200 (excl. VAT) may be charged for any preparation time. Travel expenses must be handled via a travel expense form (car) or an invoice (train) and are not to be included in the fee.
The trainer must not be given a commitment before the seminar is approved.

For smaller StVs, it is possible to apply for funding from the Student Representatives Unit training fund of up to €1,000, provided the fund has not been exhausted. This measure ensures that even StVs with smaller budgets can afford a reasonable seminar. The amount of funding is approved by the chairperson and the department for financial affairs.

Under “Events,” you will find a checklist for successfully planning your seminar.

An overview of the seminar activities carried out (e.g., seminar protocol) must be sent to the Financial Affairs Office within 14 days of the seminar.
