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.

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.
