Mobility should be carried out between 26.11.2021 and 31.07.2022.
Grant Support and Quotas
The grant is not intended to cover all the expenses related to the period spent abroad but is a contribution to the expenditures. Grant support is provided as individual support for daily expenditures plus travel support. Individual support is 180 Euro per day. The total amount will be calculated multiplying the number of mobility days with the daily grant amount and adding the travel contribution to this amount, according to the distance calculator. The staff placed within the scope of this announcement will be provided with the individual grant for a maximum of two days for travel days that do not overlap with the activity days.
Travel SupportTravel support is provided for the round-trip travel between the program and partner countries. The amount of travel support should be calculated with the “Distance Calculator”. The distance calculator is available at the link:
