Open Call for Proposals- European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) - (collection OC-2023-1)
Open Call
COST invites European researchers and innovators to submit proposals for Actions aiming to address scientific, technological and societal challenges by promoting and spreading excellence, fostering interdisciplinary research for breakthrough science and empowering and retaining young researchers and innovators.
COST brings together researchers and innovators from all around the world to jointly develop ideas and initiatives across all science and technology fields through pan-European cooperation. COST encourages and fosters trans-, multi- and interdisciplinary approaches by integrating researchers and innovators from different fields and organisations such as universities, research centres, or companies.
COST does not fund research itself, but supports networking via different activities such as meetings, short-term scientific missions, training schools and dissemination products as part of COST Actions. Proposals should reflect the main characteristics of COST Actions, namely, providing for knowledge sharing, creation and application, being excellence-driven, open and output-oriented while aiming at strengthening the scientific and technological basis of the proposed topic(s).
Proposals should also respond to the COST Excellence and Inclusiveness Policy, which aims to provide collaboration opportunities to all researchers and innovators in countries that are COST Members, encourage participation among young talents and next generation leaders, in particular promoting working opportunities for young researchers and innovators, and ensure gender balance, paving the way towards breakthrough developments and innovations.
