Open call � European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST)

COST, which brings together researchers and experts in different countries working on specific topics, invites proposals for actions contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal development of Europe. Proposals playing a precursor role for other European programmes and/or initiated by early-stage researchers will be especially welcome.

Proposals should include researchers from a minimum of five COST countries. Financial support in the range of €100 000 pa for normally four years can be expected. Preliminary proposals must be submitted by 25 September 2009, and some 80 full proposals will be invited for final selection of approximately 30 new actions. Full proposals will be invited by 13 November 2009 for submission by 15 January 2010, with decisions expected in May 2010.
