The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) announces an open call for submission of proposals for the next round of COST Actions

To foster scientific, technological, economic, cultural, and societal progress in Europe, participants are invited to submit proposals for COST Actions. These actions aim to contribute significantly to the advancement and development of knowledge across various domains. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach, participants are encouraged to submit proposals that span multiple fields of study.

The submission, evaluation, selection, and approval (SESA) procedure for the Open Call Action proposals is entirely science and technology-driven. This ensures a straightforward, transparent, and competitive evaluation and selection process. This approach aligns with the bottom-up, open, and inclusive principles of COST, reflecting its commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation.

Individuals intending to submit a proposal for a COST Action are required to consult the SESA guidelines and the Open Call Announcement. These documents, essential for understanding the criteria and expectations, are readily available on the Documents and Guidelines page.

To further assist potential participants, an informative infographic can be downloaded explaining the significance and benefits of entering into this initiative. This resource outlines key reasons why individuals should engage in this collaborative effort, underscoring the potential impact on the scientific, technological, economic, cultural, and societal landscape of Europe.

The call for proposals is an opportunity for researchers, scientists, and experts to contribute to the collective knowledge and progress of the European community. The outlined process aims to ensure fairness, openness, and competitiveness, to reflect COST’s commitment to excellence in research and innovation.
