Well paid?

I don't see how EUR 1k to 2k for 21 days' work at over 12 hours per day can be considered well paid.

By my calculations that amounts to EUR 4-8 per hour - less than the minimum wage in many countries.

OK, food and accommodation are paid, but that would be true of any job when you are undertaking business travel.

Was this stuff written by the sponsors who pay these wages?
