Funding for Preparatory Visits and Contact Seminars

Information on the funding levels for 2012 Preparatory Visits and Contact Seminars

A Comenius Preparatory Visit grant is based on a flat-rate allowance to cover your travel and living costs while on a visit. If you attend a Contact Seminar, where your living costs are covered by a seminar fee, your grant will be based on real costs only.

Preparatory Visits
Your travel costs and living costs will be supported by a flat rate allowance determined by the duration of your visit and the country in which the visit takes place. There are no maximum grant levels for Preparatory Visits. However, the visit cannot last longer than 5 days.

The flat-rate allowance to support your living costs while on the visit is known as the subsistence allowance.
