What events and resources does the COST Academy provide for Grant Holders?
Grant Holder Workshops
These Workshops guide new COST Action Grant Holder Managers on the COST financial rules, and the use of e-COST, the online grant management tool of COST. The workshops are interactive, participatory, and provide an opportunity to use the training environment of e-COST available only at our premises.
These workshops are open to all newly appointed Grant Holder Managers. For more information on workshop dates, please contact your Administrative Officer.
Grant Holder Seminars
These Seminars gather running Actions’ Grant Holder Managers together to learn from each other and to share their experiences and best practices, give feedback, and ask questions on managing the administrative side of COST grants.
For more information on dates, please contact your Administrative Officer.
Grant Holder Forums
These Forums aim to bring together Grant Holder Managers coming from the same country to exchange experience, and to discuss the country and institution-based situations they face when managing a COST grant.
The forum gives them the opportunity to meet other Grant Holder Managers and compare best practices in order to successfully manage a COST grant. For more information on dates, please contact your Administrative Officer.
Grant Holder group on Basecamp
This is a pilot project aiming to create an online networking space where Grant Holder Managers can interact with each other in an informal way. The Basecamp platform allows Grant Holder Managers to access, from one place, the most important COST documents, links, and tutorials whilst also enabling members to exchange knowledge and best practices.
Grant Holder Managers can access various documents catering to their needs, including e-learning materials such as the “e-COST start up guide”.
In this library, Grant Holder Managers also have access to a dedicated Grant Holder Community, which has been created for the Grant Holder Manager’s interaction through written posts and comments.
For more information, please contact your Administrative Officer.
