Scholarships for Teacher Mobility

Every year, NORDTEK awards a number of Nordplus mobility scholarships to teachers.

The minimum duration of the teacher mobility is 8 teaching/working hours.

The exchange can include teaching, tutoring and development of teaching materials. Research activities and PhD students are not eligible for Nordplus scholarship.
