COST (Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a European program that strengthens international networking and cooperation between scientists. Funding is provided for networking activities such as working groups, conferences, workshops, short scientific exchanges, training schools, travel expenses and joint publications. A COST Action usually runs for four years. The program places particular emphasis on the inclusion of both young researchers and researchers from European countries with weaker research and innovation capabilities. The next submission deadline for COST Actions is October 21, 2025.

Target group: Scientists from the HSCG and research institutions in the region as well as those interested in COST from industry and society

The aim of the workshop is to inform you about the opportunities and challenges of the COST program and to prepare you in the best possible way for an application, both in terms of content and form.
