The President of the COST Association, Dr Ángeles Rodríguez-Peña, and the Director of the COST Association, Monica Dietl,talk about the new COST – a more efficient framework featuring a reviewed scientific organisation and new Open Call procedures meant to better meet European researchers’ interest.
Olivier Paillet, General Manager at ESEO (Grande École d’ingénieurs généralistes) in France, talks about the importance for institutions like ESEO to participate in COST Actions in order to gain visibility worldwide.
Sunspots and climate
Is there a connection between the number of sunspots, and the Earth’s climate? Two scientists (Laure Lefèvre, from the Royal Observatory of Belgium, and Jean Lilensten from CNRS in Grenoble, France) discuss this topic. This movie was produced by COST action TOSCA (Towards a more complete assessment of the impact of solar variability on climate), a multidisciplinary European network of scientists from 20 countries whose objective is to provide a better understanding of the hotly debated role of the Sun in climate change.
