Every year, NORDTEK awards a number of Nordplus mobility scholarships to teachers. The scholarships are intended to encourage teachers to exchange experience, cooperate and collaborate with their colleagues at the NORDTEK universities. 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.
