Make sure to book rebookable or cancellable trips, and use Egencia

Important update from SU: Employees who plan business trips should follow recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Public Health Authority. Always check the latest updated information from SU (https://www.su.se/om-oss/press-media-nyheter/information-till-studenter-och-medarbetare-om-coronaviruset-1.482967) before planning travel as well as visits to SRC. Always consider whether the visit is necessary or if alternative forms of meetings can be found, such as the university's e-meeting service Zoom. In assessing whether trips should be carried out or not, it is important to consider factors other than infectious risk. For example, canceled flights and other changed communication options can quickly make travel difficult. All business trips must be rebookable or cancellable: From March 9, all business trips, both domestic and foreign, must be booked with rebookable or cancellable tickets. This is because virus outbreaks abroad are not a valid reason for compensation for canceling a trip if the ticket is not cancellable. This also applies if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a recommendation for travel to the country in question. Travel must be booked through the university's procured travel agency Egencia. In the case of private journeys, the civic responsibility stated in Chapter 2 applies. Section 2 of the Infection Protection Act.
