STSMs are great opportunities for COST action members to share techniques and gain skills that may not be available at their home institution. STSM is conducted as an individual grant covering travel, accommodation, and meal expenses, for stays lasting\u00a0from 5 to 90 days. Before applying, please check the rules for STSM applications within the GENOA COST action (document attached).
