Networks, Knowledge, Impact – HSZG & ZEUSS Workshop: “COST Actions – Ein Weg zur internationalen Vernetzung” on March 6, 2025

International research thrives on strong networks, and this is exactly where COST Actions come into play! COST (Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a European program that promotes scientific exchange and collaboration across borders. It funds a variety of initiatives such as working groups, workshops, conferences, scientific exchanges, short-term projects, and joint publications. The program particularly supports young researchers and participants from countries with lower research and innovation capacities.

Join us for our joint workshop with Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz (HSZG) to learn more about the opportunities offered by COST Actions! Our colleagues Carsten Glück and Gretel Wittenburg will be at the CELSIUZ Co-Creation Lab to introduce the different funding possibilities provided by the COST Association. They will also offer personalized advice for your COST applications!

Agenda:

  • 13:00 – Welcome and Presentation (Dr. Gretel Wittenburg, ZEUSS)
  • 14:00 – Workshop: Brainstorming and initial structuring of COST Action ideas in working groups
  • 15:30 – Break and opportunity for individual questions to ZEUSS
  • 16:00 – Discussion and collegial feedback on COST Action ideas
  • 17:00 – End of the event

Target Audience: This workshop is primarily aimed at researchers from HSZG and other research institutions in Eastern Saxony who are interested in COST.
