Mange and myiasis of livestock
COST Action 833
SHORT-TERM SCIENTIFIC MISSIONS
Each year, COST Action 833 will sponsor up to ten Short-Term Scientific Missions of between three days and one month duration, up to a maximum of 1,500 Euros per mission.
Missions must contribute towards the realisation of the scientific objectives of the Action. They should strengthen existing networks by enabling scientists to visit a laboratory in another COST country to learn a new technique or to make measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own laboratory.
Applicants must be employed in a laboratory of a COST Member State having signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of Action 833. The laboratory should be actively participating in the COST Action. Undergraduates may not be considered.
The applicant must travel to another COST Member State where he/she is not normally resident. The host institution can be public or private, but must be in a COST Member State having signed the MoU and must be participating in the COST Action.
Applications for Short Term Scientific Missions under COST Action 833 must be made to the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Management Committee, using forms available from the Secretary or from most members of the Management Committee.
