Why could a COST grant help?

1.Grow workshop size: as the cost of workshop infrastructure is covered.

2.Grow our network size:

3.Coordinate research and leverage synergies between projects:

As we need to draft work-plans for the grant application…

Where do we stand with the application?

Next steps:

  • Adjust & Review grant application; Further partners and letters of support; submit.
