Secondments

Hey all,

To what has already been said, I would add this:

I have an IF MSCA grant and I'm currently planning a one-month secondment. I contacted my Research Program Officer to find out how the cost can be covered and here is her answer:

"While participation to conferences and publication fees may be supported from the category “Research, training and …”, the fees for the secondments cannot be paid from the “Management and indirect costs”, unless your host institution agreed upon. This category is entirely managed by your host institution."

If you read between the lines, it means the cost can be covered with your "Management and indirect costs". I asked my Institute. They were surprisingly pretty chill about it and accepted it immediately. So, this is an option you can consider.

Cheers,

Yves
