COST Actions are different to many other EU funded projects because it is possible to join and participate in a research network once it has started, even if you were not involved at the proposal phase.

During their lifetime, Actions provide opportunities to get involved in activities through training schools, short-term scientific missions, workshops, conferences, etc. To participate in one of these, follow the offers on the listing page of the Action you are interested in or get in touch with the Management Committee (MC) member of your country.

Working Groups perform the tasks to fulfil the objectives of the network’s project plan, as described in the Memorandum of Understanding. To participate as a Working Group member, you can apply via Actions’ page on the COST website.
