STSMs

Short-term scientific missions (STSM) are exchange visits between researchers involved in a COST Action, allowing scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST country. They are aimed at fostering collaboration, sharing new techniques and infrastructure that may not be available in other participants’ institutions or laboratories. STSM are intended especially for young researchers.

5th CALL for applications 2020-2021 – No Deadline

IMPORTANT: Please note that the period for STSM exchanges has been extended until end of august 2021.

All information and templates are available in the following downloadable document : 5th CALL for applications 2020-2021. The fifth call for STSMs within the NutRedOx action open.

There will be no deadline for this last call of our STSM and applications will be reviewed as they are received. A maximum of 10 STSM grants will be available for this 5th call.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend you to schedule STSM exchanges between two close or neighbouring countries to be able to manage safely and rapidly (return and repatriation) in case of a negative evolution of this pandemic. In addition, it is the responsibility of the host and guest institutions to ensure that all measures and recommendations between the two countries (institutions) enable this exchange to take place under satisfactory sanitary and welcome conditions. The Board of the COST Action CA16112 cannot be held responsible in case of failure to meet these essential criteria and may refuse the application if all health and safety conditions are not met.

STSM exchanges must be carried out within the framework of the grant period GP4 (i.e. between May 2020 and end of august 2021). Mustapha Cherkaoui has already informed you that our COST Action has been extended for a further 6 months.

Applicants must submit their proposals using the e-COST portal (https://e-services.cost.eu/stsm). Please prepare in advance and download the requested documents (letter of support from the home institution, agreement from the host institution, CV + proposal, proposed budget). Any incomplete application will be refused and will not be sent for reviewing.

Priority will be given to the countries/institutions/laboratories members of this COST Action CA16112.
