¿What is COST?
COST started in 1971 and is currently one of the broadest collaboration frameworks, with € 300 million from the Horizon 2020 budget. COST funds four-year cooperation networks called “COST Actions”.
COST has always been based on the concept of open and inclusive networks (its Actions), which includes all scientific-technological areas (including interdisciplinary fields, new and emerging), new and original ideas (innovative), all types of participants (public and private entities, large and small), different research careers (young and senior researchers), all countries (small and large), etc.
Why is it interesting to attend?
COST Action is a simple instrument, suitable for initiating European and international cooperation in research and innovation projects. COST anticipates and complements the activities of the EU framework programs, it constitutes a “bridge” to the scientific communities of the different disciplines. It also promotes the mobility of researchers across Europe and the establishment of scientific excellence.
The day is addressed to managers and researchers / research groups from universities, research centers, technology centers and companies.
