CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:The SNSF is launching the 2020 call for projects conducted in 
 Switzerland within the scope of COST networks (COST Actions).\n\nThe COST 
 programme (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) aims to facilit
 ate breakthrough scientific developments leading to new concepts and produ
 cts. COST brings together European researchers and enables them to jointly
  develop their own ideas and new initiatives across all science and techno
 logy fields through trans-European cooperation\n\nCOST Actions\nCOST activ
 ities are carried out in the form of networks\, called COST Actions\, whic
 h are essentially coordinated research endeavours. A COST Action lasts for
  four years. COST does not fund research itself\, but supports networking 
 via different tools such as meetings\, short-term scientific exchanges\, t
 raining schools and dissemination activities as elements of COST Actions.\
