How to become a member:

If your country is already confirmed by COST:

Send an email to [email protected]
Register on e-COST and let us know when you created your personal profile
Upload you CV to your e-COST profile page
Finally you will be added to our databank then

If your country is not a COST member yet:

Send an email to [email protected]
The CSO of your country has to sign the MoU first.
You can already create your personal profile page.
Upload you CV to your e-COST profile page
Finally you will be added to our databank

Global participation in MitoEAGLE

The basis of the COST Action is the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU): https://e-services.cost.eu/files/domain_files/CA/Action_CA15203/mou/CA15203-e.pdf
Researchers from any country can join the Action to create a large-scale network of researchers and linked stakeholders. If you are interested in joining this Action, please contact the Action Chair and express your interest for joining a Working Group (see Motivation letter).
Your feedback will be summarized in the respective Working Groups or in your personal page.

Motivation letter

The motivation letter with institution header and your signature typically contains short paragraphs on:

Background information on your scientific activities your institution and funding of your research related to MitoEAGLE
Why do you wish to join the Action MitoEAGLE?
Your potential contributions to the Action MitoEAGLE.
The Working Group(s) selected as your primary field of activities.

If your country does not yet have 2 MC Members

MC Members should be two delegates for each country from different institutions (different institutes from the same university are possible), which is common practice in COST, particularly in countries with widespread participation. In addition, three MC Substitutes should be nominated.
Contact your COST National Coordinator (CNC). On the list of CNCs (http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/who/%28type%29/3), select your country under "Display by country representative". Your COST National Coordinator (CNC) is responsible for nominations to the Management Committee (MC).
Contact the Action Chair with a very brief outline of your active role in the MC: choice of working group(s). We will need a balance of MC members in the Working Groups and management tasks, so that all WGs are represented well in the course of the Action.
The Scientific Committee suggested that the proposed Action must develop and implement specific plans to increase the involvement of Early Career Investigators and for maintaining and monitoring gender balance. Please, ask your COST National Coordinator (CNC) to take this comment into consideration when nominating the MC. See also: Circular - MitoEAGLE Management Committee nominations, 2016-03-21.

+::::# Your feedback will be summarized in the respective Working Groups or in your personal page.
-::::# If the country has not yet accepted the Action's Memorandum of Understanding (MoU): The Grant Holder must advise the Researcher to contact their COST National Coordinator (CNC) who can launch the formal procedure to join the relevant Action. Once the procedure has been concluded, the CNC can officially nominate their national representatives onto the Management Committee. It is also recommended that the Action Chair is advised of the Researcher’s interest and intent.

+::::# MC Members should be two delegates for each country from different institutions (different institutes from the same university are possible), which is common practice in COST, particularly in countries with widespread participation. In addition, three MC Substitutes should be nominated.
-:::: For Researchers Affiliated to institutions located in Near Neighbour Countries (NNC) and want to join the Action
+::::# Contact your COST National Coordinator (CNC). On the list of CNCs (http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/who/%28type%29/3), select your country under "Display by country representative". Your COST National  Coordinator (CNC) is responsible for nominations to the  Management Committee (MC).

+::::# Contact the Action Chair with a very brief outline of your active role in the MC: choice of [[MitoEAGLE#Working_groups|working group(s)]]. We will need a balance of MC members in the Working Groups and management tasks, so that all WGs are represented well in the course of the Action.
-::::# Researchers affiliated to institutions located in Near Neighbour Countries (NNC) can participate in a COST Action on the basis of agreed mutual benefit. When a researcher located in an institution based in a NNC is named as a COST Action Participant in the initial proposal, then their participation is formally approved by de-facto but they can only assume MC Observer status once the Management Committee (MC) has formal approved their participation in the Action. When a researcher from a NNC is not in the initial proposal but wants to join the Action, it is still possible for them to become an Action Participant (also as an MC Observer) but their participation requires approval by both the MC and COST.
+::::# The [[COST_Action_MitoEAGLE#European_Union_Framework_Programme_Horizon_2020_COST_Action_CA15203_MitoEAGLE_approved|Scientific Committee]] suggested that '''''the proposed Action must develop and implement specific plans to increase the involvement of Early Career Investigators and for maintaining and monitoring gender balance'''''. Please, ask your COST National Coordinator (CNC) to take this comment into consideration when nominating the MC.

-== International Partner Countries (IPC) ==
-:::: For Researchers affiliated to institutions located in International Partner Countries (IPC) countries and want to join the Action:
-::::» [http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/strategy/international_cooperation/ipc International Partner Countries]
-::::# Researchers from institutions based in International Partner Countries (IPC) can participate in COST Actions on the basis of agreed mutual benefit. As a starting point, it is recommended that the interested Researcher informs the Action Chair of their interest in joining the Action. The Action Chair can then initiate the IPC application procedure and must consult the Action Science Officer for advice on how to proceed as both MC Approval and COST approval is required.
-::::# When an Institution has been formally approved onto the Action, then Researchers from that institution are not eligible to be reimbursed for their attendance at COST meetings but are eligible to be reimbursed, once throughout the lifetime of the Action, for their attendance as a Trainer at an approved Training School.
-::::# Prior to their institution being formally approved onto the Action, the Researcher can be invited as an invited speaker and is eligible to be reimbursed for their attendance once throughout the lifetime of the Action.
-== European Commission, EU Agencies, European RTD Organisations and International Organisations ==
-:::: For Researchers who work or are affiliated to the European Commission, EU Agencies, European RTD Organisations and International Organisations:
-::::# Researchers who work or are affiliated to the European Commission and EU Agencies, European RTD Organisations and International Organisations can be named as Action Participants in the initial proposal, thus their participation is approved by defacto once the proposal is approved by the CSO. Once the Action has started, their participation also requires formal approval by the Management Committee (MC).
-::::# Action Participants from the EC, EU Agencies and International Organisations are not eligible for reimbursement unless there are special provisions enacted by the COST Committee of Senior Officials (CSO).
-::::# Researchers from European RTD Organisations are eligible to be reimbursed for specific activities in line with the eligibility criteria detailed in Section 3,4,5 and 7 of the COST H2020 Vademecum. The category: European RTD Organisations is comprised of the following 8 entities: CERN - European Organisation for Nuclear Research, EFDA JET - European Fusion Development Agreement, EMBL - European Molecular Biology Laboratory, ESA - European Space Agency, ESO - European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere, ESRF - European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, European XFEL - European XFEL Free-Electron Laser Facility, ILL - Institut Laue-Langevin.
