New research networks – medical and health research

COST is a European networking organization where most European countries (including Norway and all EU countries) are members. An important task for COST is to promote European research cooperation by initiating scientific networks (COST Actions). More information about COST can be found on their website http://www.cost.eu/ .

In May 2022, it was decided to initiate 70 new COST networks. Networks within or relevant to medical and health research are listed in the table.

In addition, the attached file provides an overview of all the new COST networks, including a summary of the individual network. On June 23, COST will publish detailed descriptions (MoU/Memorandum of Understanding) of the networks. These can be found via this page: Browse COST Actions – List of COST Actions past and ongoing | COST

The Research Council of Norway coordinates the process with a view to Norwegian participation in COST networks. Attached is the application form (Norwegian and English version) to be used by those who wish to participate in the networks’ management committees (Management Committee/MC). We would like to see applications submitted as soon as possible, as the networks will start up just over summer/early autumn. The application form and CV must be sent as an attachment by e-mail to Trude Dypvik: tdy@forskningsradet.no
