Short Term Scientific Missions

Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are short term institutional visits aimed to support individual mobility, strengthen existing networks and foster collaboration between COST Action Participants. A STSM should specifically contribute to the scientific scopes and objectives of this COST Action, whilst simultaneously allow the participants to learn new techniques, gain new experiences and access to specific data, instruments and/or methods not available in their own institutions.
One of the main objectives of the GREENERING network are promoting cooperation between academy and industries, determining the causes of failure of implementation of green processes and providing training, scientific missions and seminars within a wide audience. GREENERING is focused on the four major factors that contribute for the faster growth of green chemistry: Collaboration, Technology Forcing, Compromise and Enhanced Education. The network consists of over 70 research teams from 28 COST countries. With the Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) young researchers can be trained within the field of GREENERING at different research teams and industrial partners to gain research, innovation and entrepreneurial skills. These interdisciplinary collaborations can yield innovative and integrated technological solutions for the environment and the well-being of people in Europe via cleaner and more sustainable production.
