"EU ups its stake in COST science programme"
That is the title of a CORDIS news release on COST earlier today. "The EU will add EUR 40 million to its contribution to the international Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) programme", the news release continues.
The news release features the Spanish Secretary of State for Research, Felipe Pétriz, at the COST Ministerial Conference on 15 June in Palma de Mallorca, organised by the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
In the news release, Mr Pétriz said that ''We may conclude that it is certainly very satisfactory to note how COST has improved since 2003. Somebody called this six-year period the 'renaissance' of COST following the rather difficult times of the immediately previous years.'
This specific reference refers to the report Dr Francesco Fedi, CSO President, gave at the Ministerial Conference.
The news release is available on the CORDIS website.
