Short-term scientific missions or STSMs allow scientists to learn from an institution or laboratory in another COST country – a concept of particular interest to young scientists. In this instance STSMs facilitate that researchers participating in COST Action MechSustInd go to an institution, organisation or research centre in another participating COST Country to foster collaboration and to perform research. Participation of early-career investigators in STSMs is particularly encouraged. Deadline for application: 15 April 2021.

This is the 9th event in the series since 2005 and it is supported by the COST Action 'Unraveling new physics at the LHC through the precision frontier' (CA16201). Register no later than 20 March.

The webinar introduces the recently completed study by the COST Action 'Global Digital Human Rights Network' on the human rights aspects of the Covid-19 immunisation passport. The study involved researchers from 23 countries.

In this webinar co-organised by the COST Action PlantEd and Växtnoden, representatives from the private plant breeding sector will give their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges for research and innovation with new breeding techniques.
