Open Call for Proposals- European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) - (collection OC-2024-1)
Ανοιχτή Πρόσκληση
COST invites European researchers and innovators to submit proposals for Actions aiming to address scientific, technological and societal challenges. These challenges shall be addressed 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 to jointly develop ideas and initiatives across all fields of science and technology through cooperation across Europe and beyond. 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 are evaluated against criteria of S&T excellence, networking excellence, impact, and implementation. Proposals for a COST Action must represent a network composed of proposers from at least seven (7) COST Full or Cooperating Members amongst which at least 50% shall be from COST Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC).
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. Participation among young talents and next generation leaders is encouraged, in particular promoting working opportunities for young researchers and innovators, and ensure gender balance, paving the way towards breakthrough developments and innovations.
The 2024-1 Collection Date is 23 October 2024 at 12:00 - noon (CEST). Up to 70 new COST Actions are to be approved, subject to available budget.
