Short-Term Scientific Missions

Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) are aimed at supporting individual mobility and at strengthening the existing networks and fostering collaborations by allowing scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another Participating COST Country or an approved NNC institution or an approved IPC institution. A STSM should specifically contribute to the scientific objectives of the COST Action IC1404, while at the same time allowing applicants to learn new techniques or gain access to specific instruments and/or methods not available in their own institutions.

The reports from all the STSMs performed in this cost action can be consulted here.
