Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs)
Short-term scientific missions (STSMs) are exchange visits between researchers involved in a COST Action, allowing scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST Member state.
The Grantee can be any Action participant, implementing a project with an international team and gaining new knowledge or access to equipment or techniques not available in the home institution. He/she receives a contribution for traveling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, implementation of the project, delivery of the report to the COST Action MC and overall effort, of max. EUR 4’000.
For more information, see the Annotated rules (among others, page 96).
