Namen razpisa:

COST is a pan-European intergovernmental framework dedicated to supporting European-based Science and Technology (S&T) networking activities, enabling collaboration between researchers, innovators, and other relevant stakeholders. COST participants can jointly develop ideas and new initiatives across all scientific disciplines through trans-European coordination of nationally or otherwise funded research activities. Since its creation in 1971, COST has significantly contributed to reducing the gap between science, policy makers and society in Europe and beyond. The COST Mission is to strengthen Europe’s capacity to address scientific, technological and societalchallenges, by funding bottom-up, excellence-driven, open and inclusive networks (COST Actions) in all areas of science and technology.
COST invites to submit proposals for COST Actions addressing scientific, technological and societal challenges, by promoting and spreading excellence, fostering interdisciplinary research for breakthrough science and empowering and retaining young researchers and innovators.
COST Actions are Pan-European, Bottom-up, Open throughout their lifetime to new members and are adaptable in terms of internal organisation and strategy; well-suited to promote Multi-, Inter- and Transdisciplinary collaborations, Output and Impact-Oriented. COST supports networking via different activities such as meetings, short-term scientific missions, training schools and dissemination products as part of COST Actions, to achieve bottom-up defined challenges. COST does not fund research itself.

To be eligible, COST Action proposals must:
• Be submitted by an eligible Main Proposer ;
• Represent a Network of Proposers from at least 7 different COST Full or Cooperating Members among which at least 50% shall be from COST Inclusiveness Target Countries as detailed in the Annex of this document;
• Respect word and page limits as described in Section 2.4.2 of this document. For this reason, the format of the “Technical Annex” shall not be changed in any way (font, margins, line spacing, etc.). A “Technical Annex”, the parts of which are completely empty, will be deemed ineligible. Furthermore, no links or references to any additional information about the proposal (web link to pages describing the proposal, audio-visual material, etc) can be provided;
• Be written in English, the working language of the COST Association;
• Be anonymous: proposals may not contain any direct or indirect reference to people and/or their institutions participating in the Network of Proposers (Main or Secondary Proposers). This means that names of proposers or their institutions should neither be explicitly mentioned, nor be potentially identifiable through, e.g., links to web pages or through references to their role and/or participation in existing or ended projects, grants, networks that are mentioned in the proposal.

COST Actions are Science and Technology (S&T) networks open to researchers and innovators, and other relevant stakeholders, affiliated to a legal entity such as: a public entity (national, regional, local public authority or any other kind of public entity), universities, research centres, small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs), large companies, Non-Governmental Organisation (NGOs), as well as any other form of legal entity recognised under a national or international framework.

Vrednost razpisa:

The funding a COST Action receives covers the expenses of networking activities rather than research. As such is used to organise and fund events, Short-term Scientific Missions, Training Schools, communication activities, grants to attend interesting international conferences, and virtual networking tools.

An estimated €125,000 is made available for a COST Action in its first year and an average of €150,000 per year for the other 3 years.
