Call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and Virtual Mobility (VM) grants

Dear TrANsMIT Participants,

We are pleased to announce the second call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and Virtual Mobility (VM) grants within the current grant period of the TrANsMIT Action.

STSM grants provide financial support for researchers and innovators to visit a host institution located in a different country from their affiliation, in order to carry out specific work within a defined time frame. This year, we particularly encourage applicants to contribute to the creation of the TrANsMIT open-access CCUS database. Proposals that include work on the development of this database will be given priority.
VM grants support online collaboration among researchers and innovators within the Action. In this grant period, VM activities should also directly contribute to the development of the open-access CCUS database.
You can find more details on the application process in the attached document.
Application deadline: 30 May 2025
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
