COST-Actions
COST is an European framework supporting cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across Europe. It started in 1971 to complement the activities of the EU Framework Programmes, constituting a “bridge” towards the scientific communities. It also increases the mobility of researchers across Europe and fosters the establishment of scientific excellence through the Cost Actions.
They are a flexible, fast, effective and efficient networking instrument to cooperate and coordinate nationally funded research activities. COST Actions allow European researchers to jointly develop their own ideas in any science and technology field. They have a duration of four years and consist in a range of networking tools, such as workshops, conferences, training schools, short-term scientific missions (STSMs), and dissemination activities.
