The new Grant Period for the COST ACTION PROBONO - CA21128 has already started and the invitation for new STSM applications is open. The Action intend to support many young researchers from Inclusiveness Target Countries as well as other researchers to carry out Short-Term Scientific Mission abroad on objectives linked to that of the PROBONO Action.
STSM applicants must be Action participants from a Full/Cooperating Member, Near Neighbour Countries (NNC) or European RTD organisation. They must be member of at least one WG of our Action. Applicants must be engaged in an official research program as a PhD Student or postdoctoral fellow or can be employed by, or affiliated to, an institution, organization or legal entity which has within its remit a clear association with performing research.
A STSM should specifically contribute to the PROBONO objectives.
We have a maximum amount of STSM to 2000 € for “normal” STSM, i.e. for mission of the duration of 2-3 weeks inside Europe.
We can consider “exceptional cases” exceeding this amount for mission outside Europe (US, Japan, …) or for very long STSM (more than one month).
These cases should be discussed case by case…
The submission of proposals will be open in a continues basis, while their evaluation will be carried out regularly by the STSM Committee.
STSM should be normally requested 3 weeks before the starting of the mission (although motivated exceptions will be considered) and should apply through the e-COST platform: https://e-services.cost.eu
