Short Term Scientific Missions
Open call for STSMs in Grant Period 4:
STSM are aimed at supporting individual mobility and at strengthening the existing networks and fostering
collaborations by allowing scientists to visit an institution in another participating COST country.
According to COST recommendations we recommend that:
- travel is planned not earlier than September 2020
- all individuals purchase travel cancellation insurance which is an eligible expense and check if it covers
cancellation for covid-restriction reasons, please check the Vademecum for further information. href="https://www.cost.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Vademecum-V8-1-May-20202.pdf"
