Dear Colleague,
Your stay at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur
is about to begin. The OCA invitation letter shows the amount of your monthly
allowance. But due to administrative constraints, it is generally not paid
before the end of the first month. Further informations may be given to
you by Personnel Office.
Thus, you are strongly advised to assure by all means
your own financial support for the first weeks of your stay : apartment
renting, food, ....
However, if in spite of budget estimates, you are facing
real difficulties upon your arrival due to insufficient income or weak
currencies ..., A.D.I.O.N. "Association pour le Développement International
de l"Observatoire de Nice" may provide an advance on your salary, as one
of this Association aims is to ease welcoming foreign resarchers.
In order to benefit an advance on salary, you must
individually write to the President
of ADION and :
- explain the reasons of your demand,
- give the amount of money you will like to receive
- present a reimbursement programme.
Your request will be examined by ADION and the amount
discussed with you. If accepted, you will be taken to the Secretariat to
complete all formalities.
Looking forward to welcome you,
Yours sincerely,
Signed :
Hélène Frisch - President
Paul Faucher - General Secretary
