Rules and guidelines from Nordplus handbook
Express mobility under 1 month
Students may also be awarded grants for shorter exchanges, so-called express mobility grants. The minimum duration of an express mobility is one week (5 working days). The express mobility is intended to broaden the possibilities for students to study abroad for shorter periods in cases where longer periods are not possible. This mobility scheme is also intended to encourage and to facilitate institutions to invite students from partner institutions in ordinary courses organised at the HEIs and thus promote internationalisation at home. The VALA network suggests that express mobilities last 1-2 weeks.
Work placements grants are awarded according to the same guidelines, criteria and rules as regular student mobility grants.
The following rules apply to student mobility grants:
