Short Term Scientific Missions

The Applicant must use the on-line registration tool to register their request for an STSM. The following information has to be encoded with the registration:

  • Applicant’s title, name, work place, postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address
  • Name, postal address, telephone, fax and email of the prospective host at the receiving institute
  • The planned dates and length of stay
  • The title of the planned STSM
  • A short description of the proposed work plan (about 250 words)
  • A short curriculum vitae
  • A budget request with breakdown for the costs of the STSM
  • Bank details

The on-line STSM application form to register the request for a STSM can be found at http://www.cost.esf.org/stsm. The candidate has to click on the menu to select our cost action. The guidelines can be downloaded from the site.

More information on the procedures can be obtained from the Action vice-chair Kati Réczey (kati_reczey@mkt.bme.hu).
