Target group
Scientist who want to collaborate in activities in research and technology.
COST creates scientific networks and enables scientists to collaborate in a wide spectrum of activities in research and technology.
COST Actions consist of basic and pre-competitive research for peaceful purposes as well as activities of public utility. Scientists themselves propose new Actions making COST an attractive forum for new and emerging topics.
COST does not fund research itself but provides a platform for European scientists to cooperate on a particular project and exchange expertise. These projects are called "Actions".

COST is an intergovernmental European framework for international co-operation between nationally funded research activities. COST creates scientific networks and enables scientists to collaborate in a wide spectrum of activities in research and technology.
The concept of COST meets the growing demand for international co-operation, multidisciplinary research, complements the European Union RTD Programmes and forms an important and valuable element in the European Research Area. COST has developed into one of the largest frameworks for research co-operation in Europe and involves nearly 30.000 scientists.
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and beyond and enable researchers and innovators to grow their ideas in any science and technology field by sharing them with their peers. COST Actions are bottom-up networks with a duration of four years that boost research, innovation and careers.
Scientist who want to collaborate in activities in most fields of research and technology.
