Second call for STSM, VMG and Conference grants in 2026

Share

We announce a new call for the Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) grants, Virtual Mobility Grants (VMG) and Conference Grants.

Short-Term Scientific Mission Grants fund a visit to a host organization located in a country different from the country of affiliation by a researcher or innovator for specific work to be carried out and for a determined period of time.

Virtual Mobility Grants support online collaborations on specific or general topics that can help achieving the Action MoU objectives and deliverables (research coordination). The outcomes should contribute to the visibility and impact of the COST Actions.

Conference Grants are available to Sustainability@Leave Members and are intended to support costs associated with conference participation when presenting work closely related to the topics addressed by the Action.
