Short-term scientific missions

Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a visit of a host organization (e.g. institution, organisation, company or research centre) located in a different country than the country of applicant’s affiliation with the aim to carry out specific work during a determined period of time.

Description

STSMs aim at supporting individual mobility, strengthening existing networks and fostering collaboration between COST Action Participants. They should specifically contribute to the scientific objectives of this COST Action, whilst at the same time allowing those taking part in the missions to learn new techniques or methods, gain access to specific facilities, instruments or data that are not available in their own institution/organisation.

The limit per STMS Grant is EUR 2500. If higher costs are justifiable for very specific cases, this will be evaluated if applied and could be maximum EUR 4000 according the COST rules.
