“Reisekammeraten” is a prize in the form of a travel grant of DKK 25,000, which is awarded during the Hans Christian Andersen Festivals. The prize was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's work and, not least, his love of travel. The prize winner is found among students at SDU Odense or UCL Odense. The student must have planned an exciting and preferably slightly adventurous study period in another country. The committee’s selection attaches importance to the fact that the applicant has reflected on travelling and interactions with other cultures.
