Transparent criteria of evaluation of STSM applications (in the line with COST rules)
Aims of a STSM
- Supporting individual mobility
- Strenghtening existing networks
- Fostering collaboration between researches
- Learning new techniques
- Gaining access to: specific data, mehods and instruments
Eligible persons to partake in STSM
- PhD student
- PhD up to 8 years after the date of PhD obtaining
- Senior scientist (although so called Early Career Investigators: ‘PhD students’ and ‘PhD + 8 years’ - will have the priority)
- STSMs are especially (although not exclusively) targeted at persons at early stages of their professional career (defined as eight years since the award of the PhD or equivalent). We also particularly encourage the application of women, and/or persons from “inclusiveness countries” (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, FYR Macedonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey).
STSM duration
- The mission must have a minimum duration of 5 days and a maximum duration of 90 days
- Early Career Investigators (ECI) can apply for a STSM up to 180 days
- STSMs need to be carried out in their entirety within a single Grant Period and always within the Action’s lifetime (1.11.2016-11.09.2020)
- » see Grant Periods of the COST Action MITOEAGLE
Funding priorities
- Early Career Investigators (ECI)
- STSM in which practical science is getting carried out
- STSM which directly lead to tangible outcomes (e.g. writing papers/grants).
- The money will be returned AFTER the Grantee will complete her/his visit and will submit a report (a written report on the activities carried out during the STSM within 30 days of the end of the research visit)
Note: STSM Grantees must make their own arrangements for all provisions related to personal security, health, social security and pension matters
