Selected COST terms

COST Action
means the COST pan-European networking instrument allowing researchers, engineers or scholars from COST Member Countries and Cooperating State to develop jointly their ideas and new initiatives in a field or topic of common interest.
COST Actions are implemented through a set of networking tools such as meetings (MC meetings, Working Groups, workshops, conferences), Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs), Training Schools and Dissemination activities.
Action’s Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
means the agreement accepted by a minimum of five different COST Member Countries and/or Cooperating State describing the Action objectives. This document has to be accepted by any additional COST Member Country or Cooperating State joining the Action.
COST National Coordinator (CNC)
means the individuals appointed by the COST Member Countries and Cooperating State in charge of confirming the acceptance of the Action Memorandum of Understanding and responsible for nominating the Management Committee members of their country and the evaluators for the Review Panels pool of Experts.
Management Committee (MC)

They are in charge of the coordination, implementation, and management of an Action's activities as well as supervising the appropriate allocation and use of the COST funding with a view to achieving the Action's scientific and technological objectives. They are nominated by the CNC.
Action MC Members shall be affiliated to a university, research centre, company or other relevant legal entity, and adhere to the set of COST Implementation Rules and COST Vademecum.
A Management Committee (MC) composed of representatives (maximum two MC Members per country) of COST Member Countries or the Cooperating State is responsible for the coordination and management of the Action activities.

The Management Committee (MC) may include up to two representatives from Near Neighbor Countries or International Partner Countries as MC Observers. MC Observers have no voting rights.
During the 1st MC meeting, the MC elects the Action Chair, the Action Vice-Chair and the Grant Holder Institution.
Action Participant
means any researcher, engineer or scholar who participates actively in a COST Action.
The reimbursement of expenses incurred by participants, other than those incurred by the MC Members, depends on the fulfilment of the COST eligibility criteria for reimbursement and is always subject to the availability of COST funds.
Researchers from Near Neighbour Countries are eligible for reimbursement, whereas researchers from International Partner Countries are not.
Main Proposer
means the coordinator of the network of proposers who submit a proposal for a COST Action in response to the Open Call.
Grant Holder
means the legal entity responsible for the administrative and financial implementation of the COST Action.
Funding Scheme

COST Action Grant Agreement (AGA)
means the agreement between the COST Association and the Grant Holder that governs the administrative and financial implementation of the COST Action.
Early Career Investigator (ECI)
means a researcher in the time span of up to 8 years after the date of obtaining the PhD/doctorate (full-time equivalent).
Dissemination
means the public disclosure of COST Action’s results and/or outcomes by any appropriate means (other than resulting from protecting or exploiting the results), including by scientific publications in any media.
COST Actions shall favour Open Access to results and outcomes published thanks to COST funding. Specific provisions linked to the management, sharing or exploitation of Intellectual Property that may rise from a COST Action shall be defined by the respective Action participants, and lies within their sole discretion/responsibility.
