What is COST?

COST

(European COoperation in Science and Technology) is an inter-governmental framework, founded in 1971, for cooperation in Science and Technology allowing the coordination of nationally-funded research on a European level, through the support of cooperation and mobility of researchers

COST – Main Features

  • “Bottom-up” – No fixed

programmes/priorities

  • À la carte participation -

Coordination of national efforts through networking

  • Networks based on funded

(research) projects – national responsibility

  • Open to global cooperation in

the mutual interest

  • Building bridges between

research communities

  • Enabling agent – focus on Early

Stage Researchers

  • Pan-European dimension
  • Scientific scope incl. pre-

normative and public utility research & technologies

  • Focus on multidisciplinary

cooperation fostering innovation

  • Equal access / Open Call
  • Transparent procedures

This COST Action COST IS1002:

  • Title: Modernet - a network for development of new techniques for

discovering trends in occupational and work-related diseases and tracing new and emerging risks

  • Main objective: This Action’s objective is to develop a network for

exchange of knowledge on, and setting the basis for comparative evaluation and development of new techniques to enhance the information on trends in ODs, on discovering and validating new OH risks more quickly (data mining, workers’ and physicians’ reporting coupled with novel statistical techniques) and use of modern techniques to discuss and disseminate information (platforms, social media).
