Virtual Mobility Grants

Empowering researchers to collaborate beyond borders — fostering innovation, knowledge exchange, and capacity building through digital connectivity.

Virtual Mobility Grants

We are pleased to announce the Call for applications for the Virtual Mobility (VM) Grant, designed to promote collaboration among researchers and innovators within the COST Action. This grant offers a fantastic opportunity to exchange knowledge, learn new techniques, and enhance your skills in online collaboration within a pan-European framework. The VM Grant benefits the COST Action by providing a flexible tool to implement online activities, achieving MoU objectives while significantly increasing impact and reach. It also contributes to reinforcing European leadership in knowledge creation and boosting innovation potential.

Application Status: CLOSED

As a VM grantee, you will develop your capacity for online collaboration and networking. Activities that can be undertaken include virtual mentoring schemes focusing on capacity-building and new skill development, particularly for Young Researchers and Innovators. You could also engage in activities aimed at harmonising methods within the Action, such as setting up surveys to gather diverse results from various labs, coordinating discussions to create standard protocols, or preparing questionnaires for online networking.

Additionally, the grant supports research coordination activities that do not require in-person presence, such as computational tasks or data analysis for specific reports. Each grant provides funding of up to EUR 1,500.00 (we have allocated EUR 500.00 within Net4Brain), with the amount reflecting the task's duration, scope, and complexity. We encourage interested participants to submit their proposals outlining their intended activities and how they will achieve the grant's objectives. We look forward to your applications and to fostering collaborative efforts together.
