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. These scientific missions may last up to six months in another COST Member/Cooperating Member or Near-Neighbour Country joining the Action. 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.

This is the first call for Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) funded by Cost Action CA22114. STSM is a mobility grant aimed to promoting individual mobility to gain new skills and knowledge in areas of interest of the TREASURE COST Action.
TREASURE offers four STSM grants to financially support individuals in their mobility. The grant contributes to the overall travel, accommodation, and meal expenses of the grantee, but it may not necessarily cover all expenses. The minimum visit should last for 5 working days, and the maximum is 1 month.
Details about the maximum daily allowance that can be claimed for accommodation and meal expenses per country can be found in COST Daily Allowance Rates. Applicants are also requested to consult the Annotated Rules for COST Actions. STSM applicants have to calculate the cost of the visit by themselves, with the travel costs covered up to EUR 500 and daily amount depending on the country. Up to a maximum of EUR 2,000.00 in total can be awarded to each successful STSM applicant.
IMPORTANT. STSMs must be completed by October 1th, 2024.
Applications for STSMs are managed through the e-COST management tool (https://e-services.cost.eu/user/login). The applicants will complete the information on the website and upload the following documents:
For additional information on the submission via the e-COST system, applicants may visit the Grant Awarding User Guide.
Each proposal will be ranked by the STSM committee of the Action, and an evaluation score will be given considering the relevance to TREASURE, the quality of work plan, the applicant’s CV and the optimal budget’s plan.
The selection will follow the COST policies on inclusiveness (gender, age, geography).
The final ranking will be approved by the Action Chair and Grant Awarding Coordinator.
