Nye internationale forskernetværk åbne for dansk deltagelse

På COST CSO-mødet i Bruxelles den 1. og 2. december 2009 blev der godkendt 30 nye COST aktioner indenfor alle videnskabsområder. COST programmet (Europen Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) støtter internationale netværksaktiviteter for forskere såsom afholdelse af møder, hvor deltagerne får refunderet rejse- og opholdsudgifter. Programmet støtter ikke selve forskningen, som forudsættes finansieret nationalt.

Oplysninger om de nye aktioner findes på aktionernes hjemmesider, der er linket til nedenfor. De detaljerede beskrivelser af aktionerne findes i aktionernes Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Her kan man bl.a. finde en oversigt over de planlagte arbejdsgrupper.

Alle aktioner er åbne for dansk deltagelse, og interesserede forskere kan henvende sig for yderligere oplysninger hos nedenstående. Til de aktioner, hvor der er dansk interesse, skal der nomineres to medlemmer (samt eventuelle suppleanter) til aktionernes Management Committees, som leder aktionerne. Deadline for at søge om dette er 1. februar 2010.
