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, not necessarily members of the Management Committee of the Project or even members of their Laboratories. Before applying for a STSM potential candidates must contact both the responsible for the STSMs as well as the Head of the Institute they plan to visit, in order to agree on the working plan that must be submitted together with the formal application. In order to allow more Young researchers to profit from this action, a maximum amount of financial support has been set by the Management Committee of WINERCOST. The support is usually sufficient for a visit of one to two weeks within Europe, as it is the purpose of STSMs, and can be supplemented from other sources if a longer stay is wished.
In order to apply, please fill in the on-line application form, and send the automatically generated pdf document to Prof. Stavroulakis (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Subsequently, your application will be assessed on its appropriateness and profitability for the visitor, host and the Cost Action TU1304. Finally, you will be informed whether your application is successful.
