SE: Does a seconded person need to physically be at the secondment organisation for a full month for it to be eligible? Can they go to a conference in another country during this time?

Secondments are aimed at ensuring transfer of knowledge between two organisations through the implementation of the research and innovation activities established in the Annex 1 of the Grant Agreement.

Therefore, the participation in a conference is eligible for funding only if it is ancillary to an ongoing eligible secondment and only if it forms an integral part of the training and transfer of knowledge activities planned for this secondment.

As the duration for participation in a conference is limited to 1-2 days, it can be accepted as part of the ongoing secondment if it is in the country of the institution hosting the secondment or in another country.
