A unit cost is a fixed amount per person-month of secondment. The EU contribution is calculated by multiplying the unit cost by the number of completed secondment-months. The financial support is composed of a staff member unit cost of 2,000 EUR per month, plus an institutional unit cost of 2,500 EUR per secondment month. The institutional unit cost is split into research, training and networking costs of 1,800 EUR per month of secondment and management and indirect costs of 700 EUR per month. The Staff member unit cost is a top-up allowance and the salary of the seconded staff is not covered by the EU contribution.
