COST
Aim and Objectives
COST - European
CO-operation in Science and Technology is the European framework supporting
trans-national cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across
Europe. COST’s aim is to enable breakthrough scientific developments leading to
new concepts and products. It hereby contributes to strengthening Europe’s
research and innovation capacities.
While the COST does not fund research itself, it provides support for
networking activities carried out within
COST Actions. COST Actions are active through a range of networking tools,
such as meetings, workshops, conferences, training schools, short-term
scientific missions (STSMs) and dissemination activities. COST Actions are open
to researchers from universities, public and private research institutions, as
well as to NGOs, industry and SMEs.
COST invites researchers throughout Europe to submit proposals for COST
Actions through a continuous Open Call.
For more information on next collection dates and how to submit a proposal
for a
COST Action, please visit the
Open
Call page.
Researchers can also apply to
join an existing COST Action or become involved in various COST Action
activities.

consortium, and
- EUR 1.000 per project application, if a Slovenian organization
participated within an international consortium or applied for the project
independently, if so assumed by the invitation of the European Commission.

PRIMA
Brief description of the purpose of the instrument
Prima - is a partnership
in field of research and innovation in the Mediterranean area and acts as a
joint scientific, financial and administrative management through a single
secretariat. The PRIMA program was approved for implementation in the period
from 7 August 2017 to 31 December 2028. Funding for the implementation of this
program comes from EU framework programs and is co-financed by the countries
that have joined this partnership. The partnership operates in three key areas
with a focus on the Mediterranean. Those areas are water management,
agricultural systems and agri-food chains. PRIMA includes successful
Mediterranean research organizations with innovative solutions in agri-food and
water systems which by the end of the program contribute to the sustainable use
of natural resources, economic growth and stability. The program involves
agencies from 19 partner countries: Algeria, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France,
Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Malta, Morocco,
Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey.
Activities related to Slovenia's
participation in the PRIMA program are coordinated by the Ministry of Education,
Science and Sport of the Republic of Slovenia. Slovenian Research Agency follows
the basis of the relevant ministry and (co)finances the Slovenian part of the
joint research project in accordance with its legal norms in joint PRIMA
research projects, which are positively evaluated and proposed for co-financing.
