Presenters at, and participants to, Comenius network events may have the possibility of be given a European grant for participation. Such a grant is called "Comenius training activities grant". The funding – as well as the decision - lies with the National EU Agency in your country. You may apply for such a grant with your agency; but do so early in time, at the time that your participation to the conference has been confirmed by us. Partners of Comenius school partnerships may include cost for participation at Comenius network events when defining the project budget and applying for project funding.

School education staff (teaching and non-teaching), including:

• teachers (including those in pre-school and  vocational education), and the trainers of such teachers;

• head teachers, school managerial staff;

• staff involved in intercultural education or working with children of migrant workers and  travellers;

• staff working with pupils with special education needs;

• staff working with pupils at risk, such as mediators and street educators;

• counsellors or career advisors;

• the inspectorate;

• other education staff at the discretion of national authorities.

• Any candidate interested in this training event will contact us (filling in the Pre-registration form) to express his or her interest and check that places are still available before applying to his LLP National Agency for a Comenius grant. Applicants may be required to enclose with their application a confirmation of provisional registration.

• If the candidate is then awarded a grant by his National Agency, he will contact us to confirm this and to formally register for the training event. If the candidate has not been awarded a grant, it is his responsibility to contact us to cancel any pre-registration which may have been made.

• From the moment the candidate receives a grant from his National Agency and confirms his attendance at training event, he has responsibilities towards us, the training provider. If he cancels his attendance, he will be responsible for paying a cancellation fee. Only in very exceptional cases of force majeure (e.g. serious illness or death of the candidate or close family member) may his National Agency pay cancellation fees using grant funds.
