These outputs may include visual materials, storytelling formats, multimedia products, or other creative expressions, and will serve as communication tools for broader dissemination within and beyond the GENOA COST Action. Funded STSMs can take place between 1 July and 15 September 2026, with grants of up to €2,500 in total for both STSMs.
