COST has identified its priorities and developed its policies on:Slide4
COST Inclusiveness Policy
4
Originated from:
Political context of Horizon 2020.
Geographical context of the COST Member Countries.
With the aim to:Encourage and enable researchers from less research-intensive countries across the COST Member Countries to set up and/or join COST Actions and get more intensively involved in all COST activities.
Counterbalancing research communities’ unequal access to knowledge infrastructures, funding and resources distribution.Slide5
COST Inclusiveness countries
5Slide6
Leadership roles at Action level. Locating Action meetings, workshops & conferences.
Promoting STSMs tool in these countries.Benefiting from COST networking tools.Strategy of the Action in order to attract top-scientist from target countries.
6
IMPLEMENTATION at MC Level:
Inclusiveness
SOME EXAMPLES
:
The ACTION should have a plan towards inclusiveness that should be revised an updated at every MC meeting.Slide7
Set a target figure, from which a percentage of the Action budget shall be used for ESRs-STSMs.
Special STSMs for Early Stage Researchers: up to 6 months with a grant of up to 3.500 EUR.
Specific Support for Training Schools.
An early stage researchers' network may be created within the Action as a “think tank”.
Leadership roles at Action level (WG leaders…)
.
7
IMPLEMENTATION at MC Level:
SOME EXAMPLES
:
Early Stage
Researchers
(PhD + max. 8 years)
The ACTION should have a plan for the involvement of ESR that should be revised and updated at every MC meeting.Slide8
Gender balance
With the aim to:
Encourage and enable under represented gender to be intensively involved in all COST activities.Networking the way to gender equality in science and technology.
8
IMPLEMENTATION at MC Level:
SOME EXAMPLES
:
Leadership roles at Action level (WG leaders…)
Gender balance in allocation of STSMs
Active promotion of STSMs to ESRs of under-represented gender
Gender balance in allocation of Training School Trainee grants
Gender balance in allocation of meeting reimbursement placesSlide9
International Cooperation
With the aim to:
to support the involvement of researchers from Near Neighbour and International Partner countries in COST Actions on the basis of mutual benefit.
9
IMPLEMENTATION at Action Level:
SOME EXAMPLES
:
Approved IPC and NNC institutions can host STSMs
Researcher from Approved
NNC
institutions can:
Apply
for
STSM
Attend Training Schools
Researchers from Approved
IPC and NNC
institutions can
be trainers
