Short-Term Scientific Mission

The COST TMA COST Action supports a number of Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) every year. From October 2009, internal calls will take place regularly on a monthly basis, with deadline the 15th of each month. Therefore, any application submitted in the period [16th of month X, 15th of month X+1] will be evaluated shortly after the 15/X+1.

To learn more about STSM, how they are implemented and how to apply, you should first read the official COST Guidelines (see “STSM” section in the Vademecum).
