Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are funding opportunities awarded by COST Actions allowing researchers to conduct a limited study period in a research institution abroad. A series of limitations apply to eligibility. There is still funding available for Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) for the year 2014/2015 with the COST Action Smart Energy Regions. Since a STSM cannot take place “across” two financial years, it is necessary to allocate the remaining STSMs for this year before the end of March 2015.

The COST Action TU1104 “Smart Energy Regions” will run a training school for Early Stage Researchers looking at “Integrated approach to retrofitting existing dwellings”. The scientific focus of the Training School is the improvement of the environmental and energy performance of existing neighborhoods at a regional scale.
