In addition, you may also apply for a flat-rate grant of up to €500 to cover linguistic and other preparation for your Assistantship, which will be paid at the end of your Assistantship on receipt of necessary supporting documentation. This has been broken down for 2011 by the UK National Agency as follows:

• €300 for linguistic preparation, i.e., for attending a structured language course
  or for the purchase of language materials for self-learning activity
• €200 for participation in an induction event hosted by the Comenius National Agency in the country of your destination (unless you are based in the same town or city where the induction event takes place).
