Once their participation is approved, researchers from these countries can participate in the Action. In the Management Committee of the Action they are considered as Management Committee Observers (with no right to vote).
Additionally, when more than two institutions from the same near Neighbour Country or International Partner Country participate in a COST Action they are requested to coordinate their participation, as they can be represented by a total maximum of two members in the Management Committee of the Action.
Financial Support
- Researchers from International Partner Countries are not eligible for reimbursement.
