Dissemination Conference Grant

Dissemination Conference Grants are designed to support Action participants who wish to present the
work of the CA23121 GENOA Action at high-level conferences not organized by the Action.
Dissemination Conference grant:

• Significantly increases visibility of the Action in the research community, and can contribute to
  increasing visibility of the presenter;
• Attracts additional participants and stakeholders and disseminates Action results to relevant
  end-users at high profile conferences in the field on a topic relevant to the Action.

These grants are beneficial in two key ways:

• For the Grantee: receives support for attending and delivering an oral presentation of the
  Action, their activities, and results at a conference and for developing new contacts and
  potential future collaborations.
• For the COST Action: receives increased visibility and awareness, new contacts with potential
  stakeholders.

Please note: This is a continuous call for applications for conferences taking place within the current
grant period. A Grant Period is the duration defined in the Action Grant Agreement during which the
COST Action budget shall be spent in accordance with the Work and Budget Plan. A Grant Period runs
for one year unless stated otherwise. Any grant application must start and end within the duration of a
single Grant Period.
A grant can be used for travel, accommodation, subsistence, registration fees, and the printing of
scientific posters.
