COST er en europeisk nettverksorganisasjon der de fleste landene i Europa (herunder Norge og alle EU-landene) er medlemmer. En viktig oppgave for COST er å fremme europeisk forskningssamarbeid ved å igangsette vitenskapelige nettverk («COST-aksjoner»).
Generell informasjon om COST kan finnes her og her.
I februar 2016 ble det vedtatt å igangsette 26 nye COST-aksjoner, hvorav følgende er innenfor/relevante for medisinsk og helsefaglig forskning:
- CA15203 – Mitochondrial mapping: Evolution – Age – Gender – Lifestyle – Environment (CA15203 – MITOEAGLE)
- CA15204 – European Platform for Outcomes Research into Perioperative Interventions during Surgery for Cancer (CA15204 – EuRO-PeriSCope)
- CA15205 – Gene Regulation Ensemble Effort for the Knowledge Commons (CA15205 – GREEKC)
- CA15208 – Rationing – Missed Nursing care: An international and multidimensional problem (CA15208 – RANCARE)
- CA15210 – European Network for Collaboration on Kidney Exchange Programmes (CA15210 – ENCKEP)
- CA15214 – An integrative action for multidisciplinary studies on cellular structural networks (CA15214 – EuroCellNet)
- CA15216 – European Network of Bioadhesion Expertise: Fundamental Knowledge to Inspire Advanced Bonding Technologies (CA15216 – ENBA)
- CA15222 – European Network for cost containment and improved quality of health care (CA15222 – COSTCares)
Sammendrag av aksjonene kan finnes under lenkene i parentes. Der finner man også lenke til en nærmere beskrivelse av hver enkelt aksjon (Memorandum of Understanding).
På vedlagte fil gis sammendragene sammen med litt tilleggsinformasjon, samt en fullstendig liste over de nye COST-aksjonene.
Norges forskningsråd koordinerer prosessen med henblikk på norsk deltakelse i COST-aksjoner. Hans Hellebostad er kontaktperson for aksjonene innenfor medisin/helse og kjemi. Ved interesse for å delta bes man om å ta kontakt med undertegnede innen 18. april 2016*). Man kan da også få mer detaljert informasjon om deltakelse i COST. Søknadsskjema som brukes for å kunne bli med som deltaker, følger vedlagt.

*) Dette er ikke nødvendigvis siste mulighet for å kunne bli med i aksjonene, men er satt som en første frist av hensyn til Forskningsrådets oppfølging overfor COST.[:en]COST is a European networking organization where most European countries (including Norway and all EU member states) are members. An important task for COST is to promote European research by initiating scientific networks («COST actions»).
General information on COST can be found here and here.
In February 2016 it was decided to initiate 26 new COST actions, of which the following is within / relevant for medical and health research:
- CA15203 – Mitochondrial mapping: Evolution – Age – Gender – Lifestyle – Environment (CA15203 – MITOEAGLE)
- CA15204 – European Platform for Outcomes Research into Perioperative Interventions during Surgery for Cancer (CA15204 – EuRO-PeriSCope)

- CA15208 – Rationing – Missed Nursing care: An international and multidimensional problem (CA15208 – RANCARE)
- CA15210 – European Network for Collaboration on Kidney Exchange Programmes (CA15210 – ENCKEP)

- CA15222 – European Network for cost containment and improved quality of health care (CA15222 – COSTCares)
Summary of the actions can be found by following the links in the parentheses. The sites also contain links to a detailed description of each action (Memorandum of Understanding).
In the attached file the summaries are given along with some additional information and a complete list of the new COST actions.
The Research Council of Norway is coordinating the process with regard to Norwegian participation in COST actions. Hans Hellebostad is liaison for actions within medicine/health and chemistry. If interested in participating, please contact me before 18 April 2016 *). You will then also get more detailed information about participation in COST. The application form used to join as a participant, is attatched.
