If the STSM you have in mind involves transnational access (TNA) to instruments and expertise of the host facility, you may use the online TNA search tool found at https://arbre-mobieu.eu/transnational-access-search/ to find suitable host facilities. Please notice that you have to be logged into the ARBRE-MOBIEU website to access this link. Here you must also submit a request for TNA to the desired host facility before filling out the STSM proposal on the COST website.

All files will be automatically sent to STSM Coordinator upon final submission. He will confirm to you by e-mail the acceptance of your application and completeness of all files.
