Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are a networking tool offered by COST, aimed at supporting individual mobility, strengthening existing networks and fostering collaboration between COST Action Participants. A STSM should specifically contribute to the scientific objectives of the COST Action CA18108, whilst at the same time allowing those partaking in the missions to learn new techniques, gain access to specific data, instruments and/or methods not available in their own institutions.

Main Info
STSM applicants must be engaged in an official research programme as a PhD student or postdoctoral fellow or may be employed by, or affiliated to, a research institution. The institutions where applicants pursue their strand of research are considered as Home Institutions. The Host Institution is the institution that will host the STSM grantee.
Any QG-MM participant from a COST Full Member country is eligible for a STSM, while a Host Institution can be any institution in one of participating countries, an approved International Partner Country (IPC) or Near-Neighbour Country (NNC). It is expected that this country has a record of active participation in QG-MM.
- Applications from PhD students and ECIs are strongly encouraged.
- STSMs between Action working groups are most welcome.
STSMs must respect the following criteria:
- They must have a minimum duration of 5 calendar days that includes travel;
- They need to be carried out in their entirety within a single Grant Period and always within the Action’s lifetime.
