The 4th STSM short visit call is now open. Deadline for applications is 24 September 2020 The exchange visit must take place to end by 31 March 2021. Proposals from those who have attended a MW-Gaia Workshop or School are especially welcome.

Short-term scientific missions (STSM) are exchange visits between researchers involved in a COST Action, allowing scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another COST Member state. These scientific missions may last up to six months in another COST Member/Cooperating Member or Near-Neighbour Country joining the Action. 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.
