My Department does not have any provision of funding available for the re-coupment of such costs. It is standard International Practice for these fees to be charged by Conference Partners when the person concerned presents a research paper in this manner. Any issues regarding the level and payment of such fees are the responsibility of the presenter of the paper and the hosts/organisers of the conference in question.
