In June our administrative representative Mrs. Weissenbacher and the Chair Dr. Greil-Soyka attended a Grantholder´s workshop in Brussels at the COST-Building. The purpose of the meeting was to inform Grandholders from several COST-Action groups about the processes involved under Local Organiser Support, Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) and ITC Conference grants in e-cost.
