Short-Term Scienfic Missions in WIMANET
Open call for a new round of STSM funding
What are 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 participating in WIMANET. These scientific missions have a maximum budget of EUR 4,000, and a minimum duration of 7 days. Their aim is to foster collaboration in excellent research infrastructures and share new techniques that may not be available in a participant’s home institution or laboratory.
Who can apply?
Short-term scientific missions are open to all members of WIMANET based in a COST Member state or NNC participating in WIMANET.
How to Apply?
This round of applications for STSMs (taking place between 1st April 2026 and 15th October 2026) the call will close on 31st January 2026; late applications may be considered if budget allows. Applications are first submitted on the e-COST website, and must also be e-mailed to the Grant Awarding Co-ordinator, Dr Alexandra Conduneanu and the WIMANET e-mail.
