Nye internationale forskernetværk åbne for dansk deltagelse

På COSTs styregruppemøde i Rom den 1. og 2. december 2010 blev der godkendt 30 nye COST aktioner indenfor alle videnskabsområder. COST programmet (Europen Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) støtter netværksaktiviteter for forskere, og hver aktion løber over en fire-årig periode.

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).

Alle aktioner er åbne for dansk deltagelse, og interesserede forskere kan henvende sig for yderligere oplysninger hos Gorm Bramsnæs eller Dorte Munch Nielsen. Til de aktioner, hvor der er dansk interesse, skal der nomineres et eller to medlemmer (samt eventuelt suppleanter) til aktionernes Management Committees. Deadline for at søge om dette er 1. marts 2011.
