Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs)
COST Action 735 also provides opportunities for young scientists to collaborate with senior researchers on Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs). These STSMs are based around the COST Action 735 working group foci and aim to promote an international community of young scientists working within the scope of the COST foci. The STSMs also offer a chance for young scientists to develop data sets, experimental methods and gas flux product development.
