Dear partners and friends,
The
time for preparatory visits is here
and now! It is the best moment for asking to your National Agency for a
preparatory visit to meet us in Granada and prepare your new project proposal
for Leonardo da Vinci Mobility projects (IVT, PLM and VETPRO) and Erasmus
placement projects for 2013.
In
the following link you can find all necessary information about how to apply
for a preparatory visit: http://ec.europa.eu/education/llp/call12_en.htm.
Preparatory
visits are aimed at helping to establish contacts with prospective
partners in view of entering into closer co-operation.
The aim of
the preparatory visits is to help institutions which meet the requirements for
the
Leonardo da
Vinci and wishing to establish a new mobility project to contact and meet
suitable partner institutions and / or develop a work plan to prepare the
application for project / partnership.
Any
institution wishing to establish a new project in Leonardo da Vinci Mobility actions
can apply for a grant for enabling one member of their staff for a visit. The visit
can be made in the following way:
- Visit to
a potential partner institution in another country participating in the Lifelong
Learning Programme (i.e. M.E.P.
Eurprojects Granada).
Preparatory
visits allow potential partners to meet in order to:
- Define
goals, objectives and methodology of a future project.
- Define
partner roles, responsibilities and tasks in a future project.
- Develop a
work plan for a future project, including methods for monitoring,
evaluation
and dissemination.
- Fill the
application form of project
Requirements
for approval:
1. Content
and duration
The program
for the mobility action is clear and reasonable; its duration is realistic and
adequate.
2.
Relevance
There is a
clear connection between the activities and strategy of the institution from
which the
applicant
and the purpose and content of the preparatory visit.
Characteristics
of a Preparatory visit (PV):
• Duration:
1 to 5 days.
• You can
apply any time of the year, with an advance of one month prior to the start of
the visit.
• must
target a member of the LLP different from the sending country (EU member states
and Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Croatia).
• You can
visit two cities in the same country or from two different countries.
• They are
designed for a single participant, in very exceptional situations may be requested
the presence of a second participant (not for reasons of insufficient language
skills, protocol or institutional representation).
• The
maximum grant that is awarded depends on each country, check in your National
Agency website: http://ec.europa.eu/education/lifelong-learning-programme/national_en.htm.
• You can only
make one visit per call, even if the institution will participate in more than
one Leonardo da Vinci project. Attending a contact seminar counts as
preparatory visit.
•
Preparatory visits should always apply to future projects, not for a project
that has already been approved.
It is very
important to apply for preparatory visits because it gives extra points to your
application when you will submit it so that your possibilities to get the
approval get considerably enhanced.
Therefore,
don’t doubt it and contact us for start preparing your application for
preparatory visit.
We will be
looking forward to receiving your news,
