COST ACTION CA15104 TRAINING SCHOOLS
Dissemination is a key component of the Action, given its R&D dimension, together with the development of basic technology and the training of researchers. IRACON addresses this matter by carrying out a number of initiatives e.g. Training Schools. Training Schools can be organized as follows:
• organisation of Training Schools, with IRACON lecturers, which are open to the community at large;
• joint organisation of Training Schools, with lecturers from IRACON and from other Actions and H2020 R&D projects,
open to the scientific community at large.
GRANT APPLICATIONS
COST CA15104 (IRACON) offers a limited number of grants to attend Action Training Schools. A fixed grant will be assigned to every granted person, except for local students, who will be granted only for the registration fee. The selection will be based on a first coming first served base and on the following priorities:
1. PhD students from COST Country Institutions (one grant per Country)
2. While grants available, ESRs from COST Country Institutions
3. While grants available, other applicants
In any of the above steps, the ICT countries and gender balance will be taken for resolving equality.
