COST- FPA | COST: Europe's most empowering research programme - Strengthening science and innovation through research networking

Summary
For 50 years, COST has offered European researchers and innovators straightforward and flexible access to the best science and technology networks in Europe and beyond. COST provides networking opportunities for researchers and innovators in order to strengthen Europe’s capacity to address scientific, technological and societal challenges. COST implements its mission by funding bottom-up, excellence-driven, interdisciplinary, open and pan-European networks (COST Actions) in all areas of science and technology. These activities have had a significant impact on closing the innovation divides and stimulating brain circulation in Europe.

Looking into Horizon Europe, COST will aim to further enhance its position as the leading networking instrument in the ERA, enabling (young) researchers and innovators to prepare and empower themselves with more self-confidence and motivation to stay in Europe for their next career steps in research and innovation.

This Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) outlines an action plan for the full duration of Horizon Europe describing the strategic objectives and key milestones for the implementation of COST. To this end, this FPA aims to align, as much as possible, COST activities with the Commission’s priorities for the next 7 years.
