COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is an intergovernmental framework supporting transnational cooperation among researchers from academia, industry and the public and private sector.
COST Actions allow European researchers to jointly develop their own ideas in any field of science and technology (including interdisciplinary, new and emerging fields). Multi- and interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.
Funding for COST Actions is exclusively dedicated to cover collaboration activities and does NOT fund the research itself (see below).
COST invites proposals for Actions aiming at contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal knowledge advancement and development of Europe to close the gap between science, policy makers and society throughout Europe and beyond. Proposals should reflect the main characteristics of COST Actions, namely providing for knowledge sharing, creation and application, being open and output-oriented while aiming at strengthening the scientific and technological basis of the proposed topic(s).
Who can apply:
Funding & Duration: EUR 134.000 p.a. for 48 months.
Extended deadline: 13 November 2020 at 12:00 (CET) (previous deadline: 29 April)
Proposals must be submitted electronically via e-COST.
40 new Actions are expected to be approved in May 2021, subject to available budget.
For further information, please have a look at the call webpage, call announcement and call documents and guidelines.
