These scientific missions allow researchers involved in a COST Action to visit an institution or laboratory in any country in the world. Their aim is to foster collaboration and share new techniques and research infrastructure that may not be available in a participant’s home institution or laboratory. STSMs provide a good opportunity for both young and experienced researchers looking for mentoring and lifelong learning.
The STSM has to be completed by the periods indicated and the report submitted by the deadlines reported in the calls. Funding is subjected to the achievement of the expected outputs and contribution to the Action MoU objectives and deliverables and to the respect of provided deadlines: the STSMs must contribute to the scientific objectives of one or more SUSTAIN’s Working Groups.
Funding: up to 4000 EUR, according to the presented draft budget and the Action core group evaluation
