COST Open Call
COST invites researchers throughout Europe to submit proposals for research networks and use this unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and to embark on new European perspectives. A continuous Open Call for Proposals is used to attract the best proposals for new COST Actions.
COST is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science and Technology, allowing the coordination of nationally-funded research on a European level. COST contributes to reducing the fragmentation in European research investments and opening the European Research Area to cooperation worldwide.
The Open Call follows a two-stage process whereby applicants, after
registering, submit a preliminary proposal by a set collection date. The
next collection date is 24 September 2010 at 17:00 Brussels
time. This preliminary proposal provides an overview of
proposed Action's goal and its foreseen impact. After assessment,
approximately 80 of these preliminary proposals are selected for the
second phase. Successful applicants are then invited to submit a full
proposal.
Each collection date is announced in the Official
Journal of the European Union. The latest announcement is dated 28
January 2010.
For more details, see the COST website. The FAQ section also answers Open Call specific questions.
