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). Read the instructions from here. Download the expression of interest form from here and the preliminary funding breakdown form from here. The deadline for disclosing your interest was August 30th 2024.
