What does a secondment period mean and how can these costs be accounted?
Secondment period means a period spent by a researcher at a contractor’s premises other than those of the contractor which has appointed him/her under the project. In a multi-site ITN a secondment cannot be done to an organisation outside the network. However, the host contractor will have to appoint this researcher if the secondment period is longer than 30% of the total period of the agreement in force between the researcher and the other institution.
