Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) are institutional visits aimed at supporting individual mobility, fostering collaboration between individuals. STSM applicants must be engaged in an official research programme as a PhD Student or postdoctoral fellow or can be employed by, or affiliated to, an institution, organisation or legal entity which has within its remit a clear association with performing research. The institutions / organisation or legal entity where applicants pursue their main strand of research are considered as Home institutions. The Host institution is the institution / organisation that will host the successful applicant. PhD students, postdocs and “Early Career Investigators” (ECI: an individual who is within a time span of up to 8 years from the date they obtained their PhD/doctorate) are specifically encouraged to participate in the STSM program. Detailed information on applicant’s eligibility, rules and other issues can be found in the attached “COST Vademecum” and “STSM User Guide” files.

For more information on STSMs and the application procedure, please consult the COST Vademecum or contact the STSM Manager:
