Read on to find out what activities Leonardo Preparatory Visits funding supports. Or, you may want to go straight to how to apply for a Preparatory Visits grant.
Key Information
Preparatory Visits funding can be used to meet prospective partners prior to submitting a Leonardo Mobility project, Partnership or Transfer of Innovation application, or to attend a Contact Seminar to find new partners.
Meeting partners
Preparatory Visits funding will allow one person from your organisation to visit prospective partners in order to discuss your Leonardo application.
Contact Seminars
Contact Seminars are organised by National Agencies across Europe with the aim of bringing a variety of organisations together which share common aims, target groups and ambitions in a particular field.
They provide an ideal opportunity to find partners and develop Leonardo applications. A list of all the Contact Seminars taking place in 2010 will be available shortly.

You must submit your funding application to us at least 8 weeks before the activity start date and the final deadline for 2010 applications is 10 December 2010.
