DESCRIPTION:COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a fun
 ding programme that encourages networking of scientific and technological 
 research activities throughout Europe and beyond. The aim is to facilitate
  breakthrough scientific developments leading to new concepts and products
 . COST does not fund research itself\, but supports networking (COST Actio
 ns) via different tools such as meetings\, short-term scientific exchanges
 \, training schools and dissemination activities. A COST Action lasts for 
 4 years. The deadline to initiate a COST Action is 21 October 2025 at 12:0
 0 noon (CET) (further info). COST Actions do not cover research funding\, 
 which has to be applied for to national funding agencies. Integration into
  existing COST actions is possible.\n\nSwiss-based researchers\, involved 
 in ongoing COST Actions\, can apply for research funding with the SNSF. Ev
 ery year\, the SNSF launches a call for COST projects in Switzerland. The 
 call is open to any discipline. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged. 
 Applications must be submitted via the SNSF portal.\n\nWho can apply: Swis
 s-based researchers who have gained at least one year of experience since 
 obtaining their doctorate (or equivalent research experience) and are acti
 vely participating in a COST Action of the series CA211##\, CA221##\, and
