Calls

We are inviting ImpleMendez members to express interest in Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) that can be funded in Year 2 of our project. The aim of the STSM is to support individual mobility and strengthen the existing networks and fostering collaborations by allowing scientists to visit an institution in another participating COST country or an approved Nearby Neighbor Country (NNC) or International Partner Country institution (IPC). If you are interested then please fill in the forms and send your expression of interest by Friday August 30th 2024 5PM UTC time to our Grant Holder Manager Fiona Walsh (f.walsh@dmu.ac.uk). Read the instructions from here. Download the expression of interest form from here and the preliminary funding breakdown form from here

The list of project proposals intended to be supported in Year 2 of the Action is here. Another four projects are in further development.
