1 Opportunities provided by COST Dr. Stefan Weiers RTDI B5 European Commission

2 COST Facts and Figures : Intergovernmental Framework for transnational Cooperation in Science and Technology Success story since 1971 Networking of nationally funded research projects-> up-scaling and leveraging effects bottom-up and excellence principle -> open to all disciplines, science and technology (S&T) ideas and to all categories of partners Reaches far beyond EU-> 35 COST Member States + Near Neighbourhood Countries + International Partners On average 20 countries per networking action, duration 4 years EU funding 250 Million under FP7 and 300 Million under H2020 (tentatively) Aligned with H2020 work programmes on "Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence" & "Europe in a Changing world inclusive, reflective and innovative societies" New implementing structure -> COST AISBL (international non-profit association)

3 COST Countries 3

4 Country participation in COST Actions 328 running Actions March

5 COST Key Principles Supporting excellence Being open Being inclusive COST Driving Forces Fostering new ideas Sharing knowledge Output orientation 5

6 COST Intervention points 6

7 How do COST Actions work? Researchers network and collaborate within the Actions using different networking tools: Management Meetings Working Group Meetings Scientific Workshops and Seminars Training Schools Short Scientific Exchange Visits (STSMs) Dissemination and Publications Other networking tools, as appropriate 7

8 How does COST contribute to widening? Proven success record for integration of new players from less RTD performing countries into European research activities Based on dedicated Inclusiveness Policy Low hurdle entry gate for excellent researchers from widening countries due to openness and bottom-up principle Connecting pockets of excellence In H2020 particular incentives to foster participation from inclusiveness/widening countries Particular strategic actions will be developed Widening will be a strategic priority for the governance board of COST (i.e. CSO Committee of Senior Officials) But: No closed shop or silos exclusively for widening!

9 Specific inclusiveness-oriented activities Raising awareness at various events Seeking target countries full involvement by organising: COST Info Days Strategic events Conferences Workshops Seeking researchers full involvement by taking up: Partner roles in preparing proposals for COST Actions Leadership roles in COST Actions Initiator roles in scientific committees Grant Holder role 9

10 COST inclusiveness Countries * * Countries eligible for widening measures under COST in line with H2020 Widening work programme based on RTDI performance composit indicator 10
