Short-term scientific missions
Short-term scientific missions (STSMs) are exchange visits between researchers involved in DIGI-net, allowing scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST Member/Cooperating Member or Near-Neighbour Country joining the Action. These scientific missions are done by researchers or innovators for specific work to be carried out and for a determined period of time: it may last from 5 days to 180 days. Their aim is to foster collaboration in excellent research infrastructures and share new techniques that may not be available in a participant’s home institution or laboratory
We are pleased to announce the first DIGInet call for STSM (grand period 2). The call is now open.
