Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM)
STSMs are exchange visits to a host organization located in a different country than the applicant’s country of affiliation. It is aimed at supporting individual mobility, strengthening existing networks and fostering collaboration between researchers. The objectives are to enhance networks, increase collaboration, sharing expertise or equipment and gaining new skills. STSM Grantees have the opportunity to broaden their network and gain new skills, while STSM hosts benefit from international collaboration. The Grantee receives funding in line with the COST regulations for STSMs.
* Open for applications until October 2023 *
