Frequently Asked Questions about ENEN2plus MOBILITY

1. Can urgent applications be evaluated faster in order to respect the student’s deadlines?
No. You are advised to take notice of the average time between the submission deadline and decision, which is about 4 months. The payments to the successful applicants are to be
expected in about 3-4 months after the submission deadline.

2. Is it possible to request the mobility support for a mobility action in the past?
Yes, if the action started after June 1, 2022, and will end before May 31, 2026. Please note, however, that this is not an advantage in the evaluation of the application.

3. Are ENEN# mobility grants for longer mobility actions paid in monthly instalments?
No. All ENEN# grants are paid as lump sums in a single bank transfer to the account indicated by the successful candidate in the web application system.

4. Are medical expenses taken in account by ENEN# grants?
No. The mobility grants can only be used to cover the transportation and subsistence costs, and in some cases, also the registration or tuition fees. Applicants are advised to consult their receiving and/or sending institution to verify the status of their medical insurance.

5. Can ENEN# or ENEN AISBL provide acceptance certificates for student needing visa?
No. Candidates are advised to contact their host institution for this purpose.

6. Is it possible to change the dates of an accepted mobility action?
The mobility action has been accepted based on the data provided by the applicant. So, no changes can be accommodated after the acceptance. If a change occurs after the acceptance, the applicants are strongly advised to withdraw the application. A new application, containing the same information and the new dates is started and can follow a short track for approval, providing the original application was accepted and only the dates were changed. The applicant should notify secretariat@enen.eu via email with ‘ENEN2plus mobility change of dates – number of original application’ as subject of the email.

7. My application was declined. Where can I learn about the reasons for this?
ENEN# will not disclose the reasons for declining a particular application. Experience from the past ENEN+ project indicates that the most frequent reasons for declining the applications include:

• at least one of the reviewers disagrees on technical or scientific grounds;

• the topic of the application does not match the nuclear topic declared at submittal (e.g., studying radon effects in nuclear engineering);

• the topic of the application is outside of the scope of the ENEN# project;

• senior experts with already established nuclear careers cannot benefit from ENEN#;

• applicant requested 0 EUR or more than the maximal mobility grant;

• proposed mobility action is not cross-border;

• both supervisors (from the sending and receiving institutions) are from the same organisation and/or country.

8. Can the same person apply for more than one ENEN# mobility grant?
Yes. The limitations is that each individual will be eligible to a maximum of one submitted application per rolling deadline. (see Table 9);

9. Can the ENEN# mobility grant be transferred to an account outside of the IBAN system?
Yes, but it usually involves substantial costs (e.g. taxes), which will need to be borne by the applicant, and longer transfer times. In any case, the transfer will be made in Euro (€). In case of multiple transfers, due to wrongfully provided information from the applicant to ENEN, all associated costs are to be borne by the applicant.

NOTE about REPORT and Questionnaire !!!!!!!!!

Applicant is obliged to submit a mission report (see section 3.4) and answer the questionnaire (see section 5.4) through the application portal no later than 30 days after completion of the mobility action OR if the payments is received after the mobility action, no later than 30 days after the payment has been received. Failure to submit the report will require the applicant to return the full lump sum.
