Open Call: A simple one-step application process

Participants will be invited to submit COST Action proposals contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal knowledge advancement and development of Europe. Multi- and interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.

The Open Call Action proposal submission, evaluation, selection and approval (SESA) procedure is fully science and technology-driven and will ensure a simple, transparent and competitive proposal evaluation and selection process, reflecting the bottom-up, open and inclusive principles of COST.

Participants planning to submit a proposal for a COST Action will need to refer to the COST Open Call proposers guidelines and to the Open Call Announcement that will be available on the Documents and Guidelines page.

All proposals will have to be submitted via the dedicated online platform of the COST Association used for grant management, known as e-COST.
