ITC Grants
If you're a young researcher or innovator, affiliated with an institution in an Inclusiveness Target Country (ITC) or Near Neighbor Countries (NNCs), consider applying. You'll need to present at an international science-related conference, either through an oral presentation or a poster, focusing on the EUFLYNET's theme and acknowledging COST. Conferences within your home nation also count for application eligibility. To apply for a grant, please register on the online platform of COST Association e-COST https://e-services.cost.eu/.
