Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) are aimed at supporting individual mobility and at strengthening the existing networks and fostering collaborations by allowing scientists to visit an institution in another participating country/institution. An STSM should specifically contribute to the objectives of the COST Targeted Network.

STSM call is opened for applicants who are early stage administrators, with max. 8 years after the last education attainment or years in the profession as research administrator. Applicants from so-called targeted inclusiveness countries are particularly encouraged to apply.

All interested applicants are invited to submit individual applications. When arranging your STSM stay with your potential host institution, please be as kind as to make sure that your STSM stay should not start prior to November 12^th, 2018 and finish no later than April 7^th,  2019.

ZSI previously already hosted an STSM and one of our colleagues also provited of the opportunity: we can highly recommend submitting to this call and exchange with others to professionalise research administration!
