Program COST – webinar

As part of the series of meetings organised by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) Office in Brussels | BSP "Brussels Talks", we would like to invite you to its next edition – Dr Ronald de Bruin, Director of the COST Association, will be the guest in March. COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) programme and networking opportunities for researchers will be the theme. The webinar will be held on 21 March 2023, between 10.00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on the ClickMeeting platform.

COST is the longest-running European programme supporting multilateral cooperation between researchers, engineers scientists and representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises from Europe.

For people of science, this is a unique opportunity to jointly, by creating networks of nationally funded research networks, develop ideas and new initiatives in all fields of science and technology, including social sciences and humanities. Although COST actions do not financially support scientific research, they broadly co-finance the activity of established scientific networks by reimbursing costs related to mobility, participation in expert meetings, conferences and summer schools, as well as enable short-term internships in foreign centres. As a forerunner of advanced multidisciplinary research, COST plays a very important role in building the European Research Area.

During the meeting, we will answer questions such as:

  • What are the greatest successes in COST's 50-year history?
  • What is COST's policy pertaining to scientific excellence?
  • What are the synergies between COST and the Framework Programmes?
  • How to get involved in COST?
  • How does COST interact with its stakeholders?

The event will be held in English.

Registration for Brussels Talks: What is the benefit of COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology)? is available at the link.
