DESIGN YOUR MOBILITY

Here you can learn what steps you need to take to plan your mobility as successfully as possible.

After planning all the events or other activities, calculate all the expenses for your trip. Please note that MOST+ covers the following costs:

● International travel expenses (tickets for bus/train/flight in economy class — will be purchased by MOST+ after consulting with the grant beneficiary);
● Transportation in the destination country (in economy class only — tickets in business or first class will not be reimbursed);
● Costs of stay or "per diem" which are daily subsistence allowances that may be reimbursed for mobilities carried out outside the normal place of residence. The per diem is a maximum fixed flat-rate covering daily subsistence costs. These include accommodation, meals, tips and local travel, including travel to and from the airport. Taxi fares are therefore covered by the per diem. They are payable within the limits of the country per diem determined by the EU;
● EU calculation rules for the per diem: Per diems are payable on the basis of the number of hours spent on the mobility. Per diem may only be paid in full or in half (no other fractions are possible). A full per diem shall be paid for each 24-hour period spent on mission. Half of a per diem shall be paid in case of a period of at least 12 hours but less than 24 hours spent on mission. No per diem should be paid for missions of less than 12 hours. Travelling time is to be regarded as part of the mission. It is acceptable to request a per diem if traveling to the country of mobility necessitates spending a night in a third country that needs to be travelled to in order to reach the country of destination;
● Registration fees (conference or convention registration fee) or tuition fee (for training);
● Visa fee;
● Health insurance (required if participant is not already covered);
● Travel insurance (for cancellation or changes of travel tickets, etc.);
● If you have a disability, additional expenses linked to a disability can be funded;
● Other costs linked to special needs considered necessary for the success of a mobility can be funded (e.g. extra luggage for materials needed for the achievement of the objectives of your mobility project);
● A trip to Moscow for receiving a visa to perform a mobility can be considered a special need when the visa section of the destination country which delivers visas to Belarusian citizens is based in Moscow (up to 150 EUR per individual can be funded). The list of additional expenses and their explanation must be indicated in the mobility budget;
● For mobilities longer than 14 days in one country, a living allowance will be paid, calculated as follows: sum of EU per diems x 0,66 (long-term mobility participants are invited to organise cost-effective living arrangements);
● In the case of a multi-stop or a multi-country mobility, the day account depends on the number of per diem payable per visit, per country (Example: Volha’s mobility takes her to France (5 per diems) and to Poland (10 per diems), plus one night (20 hours) in Vilnius, Lithuania on her way to her first country of mobility. Volha’s costs of stay are calculated as follows: 163*1/2 = 81,50 EUR for her stay in Lithuania, plus 268*5 = 1.340 EUR for her stay in France, plus 170*10 = 1.700 EUR for her stay in Poland. Total costs of stay for Volha’s mobility: 3.121,50 EUR).
