What support does Movetia offer?

Movetia co-finances mobilities with flat-rate contributions. The duration and location of the mobility as well as the attendance of a language course influence the total contribution per mobility according to this grant table.
 

  • Preparatory visits: In order to exchange ideas with the partner institution(s) on site and to concretise the project organisation, you can already sumit a grant application for preparatory visits before submitting your application. This gives you the opportunity to visit future project partners abroad, establish contacts and prepare projects. The flat-rate grants (CHF 800-1200.-) include travel costs and accomodation costs.
  • Support measures: Swiss VET institutions receive financial support to set up a coordination structure for mobility and cooperation projects. Interested organisations should contact beurufsbildung@movetia.ch.

In addition to financial project support in the form of flat rates for travel, stay and organisation, Movetia offers individual advice and support as well as additional funding.

  • Counselling: You can request individual counselling from the VET team at any time - wheter on-site, online, by phone or in writing.
  • Newsletter: Don't miss any news and sign up for the VET newsletter.
  • Discussion forum: The discussion forum is used for exchanges with other project coordinators. Enquiries from foreign partnerns are also published in the forum.
