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 October 29\, 2021 (furt
 her info in this memento). COST Actions do not cover research funding\, wh
 ich has to be applied for to national funding agencies.\n\nSwiss-based res
 earchers\, involved in ongoing COST Actions\, can apply for research fundi
 ng with the SNSF. Every year\, the SNSF launches a call for COST projects 
 in Switzerland. The call is open to any discipline. Interdisciplinary rese
