Activities
Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are exchange visits aimed at supporting individual mobility, serving as a key tool to support DE-PASS (CA19101). They allow participating scientists to visit an institution or laboratory in another Participating DE-PASS COST Country.
ITC Conference Grants are aimed at supporting Early Career Investigators (ECI) and PhD students from Participating ITC to attend international science and technology related conferences, events or activities topic relevant to the DE-PASS network, Work Groups and Deliverables.
Virtual Networking Tools include a Virtual Networking Support (VNS) Grant and Virtual Mobility (VM) Grants. The DE-PASS Virtual Networking Support Manager (VNSM) will develop, manage, promote and implement the Virtual Networking strategy and the Virtual Mobility (VM) grants for DE-PASS. The Virtual Mobility (VM) Grant supports members of DE-PASS to foster collaboration in a virtual setting, to exchange knowledge, learn new techniques, disseminate Action results, etc. VM Grants support a specific activity or activities that do not necessarily require in-person presence but are collaborative in nature (i.e. working with other DE-PASS Action participants). The VM activity or activities should contribute to the stated Research Coordination and Capacity Building objectives of DE-PASS and/or the stated WG (1-4) objectives or deliverables.
