The COST scientific and technical cooperation program is an EU tool for creating and supporting international scientific and innovation networks. Since 1971, the program has been funded by European Union funds, in particular through the EU’s research and innovation framework programs.
Today, the program has about 150 active networks (COST Actions). The program has no restrictions on science and innovation, supports interdisciplinary and promising areas. The program is also open to various stakeholder groups, including the private sector, higher education and research institutions, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies.
Increasing Ukraine’s participation in the COST program will help deepen cooperation and strengthen communication between stakeholders, exchange experiences and find potential partners in the context of Ukraine’s accession to the next EU framework program for research and innovation “Horizon Europe”.
