About COST
COST is financed by the Seventh General Programme for research and technical development (2007-2013); it is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science and Technology allowing the coordination of nationally-funded research on a European level. COST contributes to reducing the fragmentation in European research investments and opening the European Research Area to cooperation worldwide.
COST does not finance research but supports network activities such as meetings, conferences, scientific consultations and long-term actions. COST plays a very important role in building a European Research Area (ERA), it supports new, innovative and interdisciplinary research networks with the objective to strengthen the basis of scientific excellence in Europe.
It also increases the mobility of researchers across Europe and fosters the establishment of scientific excellence in the nine key domains:
- Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences
- Food and Agriculture
- Forests, their Products and Services
- Materials, Physical and Nanosciences
- Chemistry and Molecular Sciences and Technologies
- Earth System Science and Environmental Management
- Information and Communication Technologies
- Transport and Urban Development
- Individuals, Societies, Cultures and Health
