WHAT ARE STSMs?
STSMs are institutional visits aimed at supporting individual mobility, fostering collaboration between individuals and are primarily addressed to PhD students or postdoctoral fellows. A STSM grant is a fixed contribution based on the requested budget which is evaluated by the STSM Coordinator. The grant is for travel and subsistence costs only. It does not necessarily cover all such expenses. STSMs must have a minimum duration of 5 calendar days and a maximum duration of 90 calendar days. The financial contribution for each STSM is up to a maximum of EUR 2.000 € in total and up to a maximum of EUR 160 per day for accommodation and meal expenses. After the STSM, the STSM participant must submit a scientific report to the Host and to the STSM Coordinator within 30 days after the end of his/her stay. The STSM has to take place abroad (in other COST country) and the candidate should get in touch with the proposed hosting institution individually. The STSMs of this call have to take place between 15th March and 31st May 2021, and up to 6 STSM Grants are available.
