How early career researchers can join Cost’s European networking programme
Top tips
- Short-term scientific missions are a good way for early career researchers to get involved.
- Each network will advertise missions and opportunities but can also be contacted directly at any time.
- When you send an application for a mission, include time for networking.
The European Cooperation in Science and Technology initiative, known as Cost, is an EU organisation that creates research networks known as Cost Actions. These interdisciplinary networks allow researchers from academia, business and public institutions to investigate a research topic over four years.
