Short-term Scientific Missions
Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) are institutional visits aimed at strengthening the network by supporting individual mobility and fostering collaboration between researchers. They allow individual scholars and scientists to travel from the institution in which their research is primarily done (the ‘home institution’) to a COST member institution (the ‘host institution’) for collaboration on some academic output, to learn new methods or gain access to resources not available in their home institution.
STSMs must have a minimum duration of 5 days including travel, and normally will have a duration of no more than 30 days. STSM grants are available for all confirmed CA 21120 Working Group Members.
For more information, see the STSM Open Call here, and HIDDEN Memorandum of Understanding.
For queries, please contact our Grant Coordinator: sergiulor@yahoo.com.
