Online (CEST)
June 16, 2026 10:00 - June 16, 2026 11:50
This online info session is open to all researchers and innovators at any career stage and from any field of research, especially young researchers. The aim is to inform the research community on how to participate in COST Actions or submit a COST Action proposal, the role and impact of the COST programme, and the benefits of the COST offer.
The Open Call 2026 for new COST Action proposals will open this summer. If you’re familiar with our existing submission and evaluation procedure, you might notice some changes, so we want to keep you up-to-date on what to expect and highlight what is new.
Read our COST News about what is new in the Open Call 2026 to find out more.
