Short Term Scientific Mission: CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

by

The call for applicants for CPP4ALL Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) is officially open! All Action members are invited to apply for a short stay (1 to 2 weeks) at one of our listed host institutions. The aim is to build connections, exchange knowledge and skills, and work collaboratively towards a CPP4ALL output.

STSM Funding is only open to WG members. Apply to join the Action here.

General Information

  • Funding of up to 2000 EUR is available for a 1-or 2-week STSM. Requests for lower amounts are welcome if appropriate; however, requests exceeding this amount cannot be considered.
  • Funding is available for 5 STSMs during this granting period. In case of underspend, additional STSMs may be funded.
  • The applicant must contact the host at the host institution in advance to discuss the proposed stay (scope, objectives, and timing) and obtain an invitation letter prior to submitting the application via e-COST profile page.
  • All Action members are eligible to apply; Young Researchers and Innovators (YRI) are especially encouraged.
  • Applicants who receive an STSM grant are not eligible to apply for conference support grants.
