What is Short-Term Scientific Mission?


STSM are missions or exchange visits by young researchers aimed at strengthening the existing scientific networks within the Actions by allowing researchers to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST country.
STSM schemes foster collaboration between research partners and help them to learn a new technique or to make measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own institution/laboratory.
They are particularly intended for young scientists.
The scheme also can serve the Action itself by filling research gaps in areas that need more precise and on demand evaluations and studies. 

COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental framework. Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and technological developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities. It allows researchers, engineers and scholars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research intensive countries to the knowledge hubs of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-for-profit Association under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative functions necessary for the operation of the framework. The COST Association has currently 36 Member Countries. www.cost.eu
