The 3rd STSM Call of CA21103 CircularB is currently open until the 28th of February 2026, for STSMs taking place from the 23rd of March to the 15th of September 2026.
Description
Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) within CircularB are designed for both young and experienced researchers seeking mentoring and lifelong learning opportunities to advance their career goals and contribute to the development of COST Action CircularB deliverables and the realisation of its objectives. An STSM involves a visit to a host organisation located in a different country from the researcher’s home country of affiliation, for a specific work plan to be carried out over a predetermined period of time. STSM applicants must be involved in an official research program as PhD students or postdoctoral fellows, or be employed by or affiliated with an institution or legal entity with a clear and active research mandate. The institutions/organisations where applicants pursue their research during the STSM are considered host institutions. Host institutions provide the necessary infrastructure capacity and knowledge support for grant beneficiaries to complete the proposed STSM.
An STSM grant is a fixed financial contribution towards the grantee’s travel, accommodation, and meal expenses.
STSM grants do not necessarily cover all expenses related to undertaking a given mission.
