KA182 Mobility of Sport Staff: the application, step by step

What it is

Mobility of sport staff lets a grassroots sport organisation send its coaches, other sport staff and volunteers abroad, for job shadowing and observation periods of 2 to 14 days or coaching and training assignments of 7 to 45 days. The applicant acts as the sending organisation: it selects the participants and sends them to a hosting organisation abroad. The grant is built from unit costs, and the application is assessed against three scored criteria.

Who can apply

A public or private organisation active in the sport and physical activity field and organising sport and physical activities at grassroots level (for example a non-profit organisation, a local public authority or a sport club), or a non-grassroots sport organisation whose staff participation benefits grassroots sport (for example an international organisation or a national sport federation). The applicant must be established in an EU Member State or a third country associated to the Programme, and applies to the National Agency of that country.

Partnership and participants

The applicant sends participants to a hosting organisation abroad; the Guide states no minimum number of participating organisations. At most 10 participants per project, not counting participants in preparatory visits and people accompanying participants with fewer opportunities.

Fields

SPO

Duration

3 to 18 months. Job shadowing and observation periods last 2 to 14 consecutive days, and coaching and training assignments 7 to 45 consecutive days, excluding travel days.

Funding

Unit costs, not a lump sum: organisational support, travel, individual support (published as a range per country group; each National Agency sets the exact rate), inclusion support, preparatory visits, linguistic support and exceptional costs. The Guide states no cap on the total grant.

Deadlines

Deadlines are set in each year's call. Check the current deadline with your National Agency.

How many applications

An organisation may submit only one application per selection round. An organisation that receives a grant in the first round may not apply for the second round of the same call.

How it is scored

To be considered for funding an application must score at least 60 points out of 100. It must also score at least half the maximum on every single criterion, which is the minimum column above.

An application scoring 72 overall but 14 on quality of follow-up actions is rejected. Clearing the overall threshold is not enough on its own — one criterion below its minimum ends the application, however strong the rest is.
