COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks.
Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and beyond and enable researchers and innovators to grow their ideas in any science and technology field by sharing them with their peers. COST Actions are bottom-up networks with a duration of four years that boost research, innovation and careers.
All COST Actions are about getting people together. I collaborated with many excellent scholars, which I believe is one of the strongest points of COST.
Industry needs to cooperate with academia just like in COST networks. Over there, knowledge transfer and getting results to industry happens in real time.
Excellence is kind of contagious. It really helps if you work with someone who is good and you see how other people in the field work.
I always say that I have learnt more in these 3 years in COST than I would have in 10 years of my career.
Innovative ideas will only come if we have a diverse culture. And if we join forces, we will be making bigger progress and deliver something to society.
COST brought a new dimension to my career and to my research project. Instead of working in one university, I am working at a European scale.
