What is COST?
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) provides exciting opportunities for cooperation and networking on an European level!
- One of the longest-running European frameworks
- Supports cooperation among scientists and researchers across Europe
- Does not fund research itself, but provides funding for network activities
- Researchers participating in an action, collaborate and contribute with their nationally funded research
About 40 new actions (networks) are funded every year.
The first year of a new action, researchers from countries that have not been included in the planning of the new action, can apply to participate.
