Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM)
STSM Coordinator: Dr. Alamin Mansouri (FR)
The aim of a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) shall be to contribute to the scientific objectives of this COST Action.
These Missions (Exchange Visits) are aimed at strengthening the existing networks by allowing scientists to go to an institution or laboratory in another COST Country to foster collaboration, to learn a new technique or to take measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own institution/laboratory. They are particularly intended for young scientists.
Please find below a list of all STSM including a short description. For further information about the outcomes of these STSM please contact the Action Chair.
