COST Action 'Utilizing 10,000 genomes of European Lepidoptera' (10kLepGenomes)

Application deadline: 31 May 2025. Period of exchange:  July-August 2025

The aim of this call is to promote collaborations across Europe to meet the goals of the 10kLepGenomes COST Action. We envision 2-4 Short Term Scientific Missions with up to 2000 Euros funding covering the costs of travel and living. The application consists of a summary of the project goal (200 words) a working plan (500 words) and a summary of the expected results (500 words), together with a letter from the host institute.

A short-term scientific mission consists of a visit to a host organization located in a different country to the country of affiliation of a Researcher in order to carry out specific work as part of a research project. In addition to research purposes, STSMs are aimed to support researchers’ individual mobility, to strengthen existing networks and to foster collaboration between individuals. The purpose of an STSM is thus to gain new partnerships, to learn new techniques and to gain access to specific data, instruments and/or methods not available in their own institutions/organizations.

For questions related to the STSMs, please contact the Grant Awarding Coordinator by email kay.lucek@unine.ch.
