Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs)

Short-term scientific missions (STSM) are exchange visits between researchers involved in a COST Action, allowing scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST Member state. These scientific missions may last up to three months in another COST Member/Cooperating Member or Near-Neighbor Country joining the Action. They aim to foster collaboration in excellent research infrastructures and share new techniques that may not be available in a participant’s home institution or laboratory.

STSM coordinator CorEuStem: Jolanda van Hengel (Belgium)

STSMs aim to foster new collaborations between the laboratories participating in the Action and beyond, to learn new techniques or to use specific equipment not available in the applicant’s institute,
