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.

Dr Ana Milojevic Assistant Professor, Faculty of Political Sciences, Belgrade University, Serbia
Industry needs to cooperate with academia just like in COST networks. Over there, knowledge transfer and getting results to industry happens in real time.

Mark de Boevere Managing Director, Pulsemaster (SME), The Netherlands
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.

Dr Julius Georgiou Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, University of Cyprus
I always say that I have learnt more in these 3 years in COST than I would have in 10 years of my career.

Dr Lara Pajewski Researcher, Engineering Department, "Roma Tre" University, Italy
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.

Dr Maxime Hervo E-Profile Network Manager, Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss, Switzerland
