Erasmus+ Funding (Higher Education)
If you work for a higher education institution in Europe, chances are good that you can get funding for participating at the NICE Academy. Please read the following information carefully in this case. If you work as a career counsellor or adult educator outside of a higher education institution (in Europe), you might be able to apply for Erasmus+ for Adult Educators. In this case, please contact Yvor Broer as quickly as possible, who may be able to support you in making an application.
To participate at the NICE academy, staff from higher education can use Erasmus+ funding. The academy is a structured learning event, with clear learning objectives and an educational programme. In case your institute has been awarded with a larger Erasmus+ grant, which most higher education institutes have, just contact your Erasmus+ coordinator. Ask him/ her if funding is left for you (and possibly your colleagues) to come to the NICE Academy. This way you can cover travel, stay and the participation fee. The Erasmus+ programme will cover a flat rate for travel, a flat day for stay per day, and a flat rate 350 Euro organisational support fee (which is more than sufficient to cover the academy fee).
It is best is to discuss this option with your Erasmus+ coordinator. If there are questions from their side, then do contact paris2021@nice-network.eu. Make sure to communicate that it’s an academy – thus a structured learning event – not a conference.
