COST Academy

Train today, lead tomorrow

The COST Academy is our in-house training initiative developed to support COST Actions in managing their Action network. It offers trainings, workshops, and webinars on topics highly relevant for the performance of the research networks.

The initiative follows the COST excellence and inclusiveness policy, which aims to boost underrepresented researchers such as, Young Researchers and researchers from Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITCs).

COST Academy face-to-face trainings take place at the COST Association in Brussels, while the webinars and online trainings can be accessed from anywhere.

More information on trainings and a calendar of events can be found below. For further enquiries please contact costacademy@cost.eu

The COST Academy:

Develops Action participants’ knowledge and transferrable skills in e.g., leadership, administration, and communication.

Participants are invited to trainings based on their role within the Action.

Courses are led by experts and combine theory with practical exercises.
