1 COST OVERVIEW 14

2 What is COST? Founded in 1971, COST is the oldest and widest European intergovernmental framework for transnational Cooperation in Science and Technology. COST has been supporting networking of research activities across all 35 Member countries and beyond for more than 40 years. COST is open to all disciplines, to all novel and groundbreaking S&T ideas, to all categories of partners where mutual benefit is real.

3 COST Mission COST enables breakthrough scientific developments leading to new concepts and products. It thereby contributes to strengthening Europe s research and innovation capacities. 16

4 COST Key Principles Inclusiveness and excellence Highest quality in Science and Technology (S&T) Bottom-up Open Call Targeting Early Career Investigators (ECI) COST funding is used to leverage funding from nationally and regionally funded projects 17

5 COST Strengths and Key Features COST supports the networking of researchers through science and technology networks called COST Actions and is open to: Any novel and original idea (innovative) All fields of S&T (including interdisciplinary, new and emergent fields) Transdisciplinarity Flexible participation join in at any time All partners (public and private, big and small) All career stages (young and senior researchers) Capacity building All countries (small and big, leader and follower countries) Global cooperation on the basis of mutual interest 18

6 COST Budget in H2020 EUR 300 million for 7 years from two H2020 work programmes: Challenge 6 Europe in a changing world inclusive, innovative and reflective Societies Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation European Commission Horizon 2020 COST Association 27

7 COST POLICIES 20

8 COST Policies 21

9 Excellence and Inclusiveness Implementation Strategy by the MC The Action should have a plan towards inclusiveness (Geographical Coverage, Early Career Investigator involvement and Gender Balance) that is revised and updated at every MC meeting and develop a strategy to attract researchers and stakeholders SOME EXAMPLES: Leadership roles Organising and locating Action meetings and events Benefiting from COST networking tools Promoting STSMs Action Think Tank for Early Career Investigators ECI = PhD + up to 8 years 22

10 Inclusiveness Target Countries Originated from: The political context of the Innovation Union (Horizon 2020) The intergovernmental context of the COST Member Countries With the aim to: Encourage and enable researchers from less researchintensive countries across the COST Member Countries to set up and/or join COST Actions and get more intensively involved in all COST activities Counterbalance research communities unequal access to knowledge infrastructures, funding and resources distribution Connect pockets of excellence in science and technology operating from diverse locations in Europe 23

11 COST Inclusiveness Targeted countries 24

12 International Cooperation Implementation Strategy by the MC Aiming to support the involvement of researchers from Near Neighbour and International Partner Countries in COST Actions on the basis of mutual benefit SOME EXAMPLES: Approved IPC and NNC Institutions can host STSMs Researchers from approved IPC and NNC Institutions can be Trainers when Training Schools are organised Researchers from approved NNC Institutions can: Apply for STSMs Attend Training Schools 25

13 SME and Industry Cooperation Implementation Strategy by the MC Aiming to facilitate/ encourage industry participation SOME EXAMPLES: Session dedicated to industrial participation at Action events Roundtable discussions with industrial partners at Action events STSMs with industry acting as home/ host institution 26
