SURVEY for Hosting/Participation to a STSM/VM 

Dear TrANsMIT Members,
We are in our second year of the cost action. We have the opportunity to fund research stays in the form of short-term scientific missions (STSMs) and virtual missions (VMs) this year. These research stays should contribute to the objectives of TrANsMIT focusing on process modelling, techno-economic or environmental analysis of CCUS technologies/systems.

We would like to know your interest in either hosting or going for a STSM/VM this year until October. Please fill up a short form before 2 Feb 2024. Link to the form is  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5DenEr4Tv8lMA1qVsfo43c0v9qFdjfUhYXKM31rOuQuY6yQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks and best regards,
