Open Call for COST Action
A new Open Call for COST Actions is on. COST invites participants to submit COST Action proposals contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal knowledge advancement and development of Europe.
COST encourages multi- and interdisciplinary proposals.
What's in this Open Call for COST Action?
The Open Call Action proposal submission, evaluation, selection and approval (SESA) procedure is fully science and technology-driven. It will ensure a simple, transparent and competitive proposal evaluation and selection process, reflecting the bottom-up, open and inclusive principles of COST.
Participants planning to submit a proposal for a COST Action will need to refer to the SESA guidelines and to the Open Call Announcement on the Documents and Guidelines page.

What is a COST Action?
The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a funding organisation for the creation of research networks, called COST Actions.
These networks offer an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond) and thereby give impetus to research advancements and innovation.
COST is bottom-up, this means that researchers can create a network – based on their own research interests and ideas – by submitting a proposal to the COST Open Call.
The proposal can be in any science field. COST Actions are highly interdisciplinary and open. It is possible to join ongoing Actions, which therefore keep expanding over the funding period of four years. They are multi-stakeholder, often involving the private sector, policymakers as well as civil society.
