Open Call for COST Actions – A funding opportunity for SCOHRE

September 24, 2023

Are you attending the Summit in Athens? You are invited to the SCOHRE booth to meet with us and find out about this exciting opportunity for the Association. SCOHRE is an excellent candidate project for funding through COST Action.

In brief, COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) funds interdisciplinary research networks that bring together researchers, innovators and other professionals, who are based in Europe and beyond, to collaborate on research topics for a period of 4 years. The funding from COST covers the expenses of networking activities rather than research and, as such, it can be used to organize webinars, conferences, networking events, working group meetings, training and exchange opportunities, and to support dissemination events/actions.

COST is of great interest to the Association as it funds research networks based in Europe and beyond, and any individual affiliated to a legal entity, in any country in the world, may become a working group member.

SCOHRE BoD drafted a list of “Research Coordination Objectives” and “Capacity-building Objectives” for -2027 in line with COST call guidelines; now, we need feedback or any further suggestions from all interested in SCOHRE activities!

Of note, for this proposal, it is important to incorporate existing research projects -ongoing or planned for the imminent future- that are relevant to the aims and vision of SCOHRE. This way, COST members will be able, through COST, to disseminate the results of their work across the research community and relevant stakeholders, as well as serve the common goals of SCOHRE.

As part of the Technical Annex that will be prepared for submitting the proposal, the research objectives of SCOHRE for the next 4 years and how these will be achieved need to be described in detail. Read more on SCOHRE’s website.
