COST Action projects

COST Actions are interdisciplinary research networks that bring researchers and innovators together to investigate a topic of their choice for 4 years. COST Actions offer an inclusive, pan-European environment for individuals of all levels of seniority to grow their professional research networks and boost their careers. You can find more information about COST actions here: https://www.cost.eu/cost-actions/what-are-cost-actions/

COST Action offers an invaluable opportunity to be involved in several activities such as:

- high quality trainings schools on the topics linked to each COST Action objectives

- Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM). A STSM  is a funded short-term exchange visit between researchers within a COST Action to foster collaboration, learn new skills, and gain access to different research infrastructures.

-Virtual mobility grant (VM): a VM grant is a fund of up to €1500 awarded to support remote, online collaboration between researchers.
