Nordplus Junior

Grants are based on fixed unit costs for travel, subsistence, meetings, and project management—not actual expenses. Nordplus only covers part of the costs. All participating organisations must co-finance the project.

How much the project has been allocated will be expressed in a number of approved mobilities (1 mobility = 1 return journey between partners in a mobility project).

You get a fixed amount for each approved mobility.

  • If you spend less, you may use the extra for related project costs (e.g. accommodation).
  • If you complete fewer mobilities than planned, you must repay the difference.

Mobility and development projects operate with two different unit cost systems described below.

The unit cost for domestic travel is an addition to the unit costs for transnational travel. Grants for domestic travel can be applied for in the home country when the distance between the participating organisation’s address and the airport, train or bus station of international departure is more than 250 km. Domestic travel can also be applied for in the host country when the distance between the airport, train or bus station of arrival and the address of the hosting organisation is more than 250 km.

The unit cost for domestic travel and subsistence can be applied for by participants from partner institution(s) in the same country as the hosting institution if the distance between the address of the partner organisation and the address of the hosting organisation is more than 250 km.
