A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) consists in a visit by a researcher or innovator to a host organization for specific work to be carried out and for a determined period of time. The host organization must be located in a different country than the country of affiliation of the researcher or innovator.
The grant provides a contribution towards traveling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, implementation of the project, delivery of the report to the COST Action MC and overall effort. The amount of the grant is determined by the Action’s MC. The maximum amount is 4,000€ per grant (see COST C Level Annotated Rules, section A2-3).
