Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa. Nervi is 7 km east of central Genova. Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. The pride of Nervi is the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs. The stunning views make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. Nervi is also well known for its Parchi, a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species. Genova's old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. Workshops and associated events, differently from what we mentioned in the previous call, are planned to be held in the main conference venue as well. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

Genova’s old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa, 7 km east of central Genova. Two of the most important tourist attractions of Genoa are in Nervi: the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs, and the "Parchi di Nervi". The sea promenade is famous for the stunning views that make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. While the "Parchi di Nervi" is a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species and the entrance is just at the end of the promenade. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas, and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

24 Mar '22

COST Action CA20111 EuroProofNet Open call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) Dear Action members, The next STSM deadline is: 3 April 2022 Notification: 15 April. We are especially looking for applications from women and working groups other than WG3. *What is an STSM?* A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a research visit of an individual researcher from a country participating in the Action in a different country also participating in the Action. We encourage STSMs, as they are an effective way of starting and maintaining collaborations. The procedure for proposing an STSM is described in Annex 2 of the Annotated Rules ( https://www.cost.eu/uploads/2021/10/COST-094-21-Annotated-Rules-for-COST-Ac… ). The main points about STSMs are: * An STSM must be between two different countries which are participating in the Action. * The typical duration is one or two weeks. We favor short missions so that more people can get funded. * The financial contribution for an STSM is a fixed grant based on the applicant’s budget request and the evaluation of the application by the STSM assessment committee. The grant may not necessarily cover all costs of the visit. The grant only covers travel and subsistence and is transferred after the STSM has taken place. * Recommended grants: - up to EUR 120 for daily allowance (depending on the location) - up to EUR 400 for travel. - the total may not exceed EUR 4000 (this is a hard limit) * Proposals should be submitted by the deadlines. *What documents to provide?* Proposals must be made through the e-COST system ( https://e-services.cost.eu/activity/grants/add?type=STSM , you need to add a bank account on your profile first). The following documents must be uploaded: * The application form ( https://europroofnet.github.io/assets/documents/STSM-application-template.d… ) with the following data: - Details of the STSM: title, dates and justification of the grant request (details of the travel cost, accommodation cost and living cost) - Goals of the STSM (max 200 words) - Working plan (max 500 words) - Working group(s) it contributes to (see https://europroofnet.github.io/wg ) and expected outputs and contribution to the action objectives and deliverables (max 500 words, see https://europroofnet.github.io/description ) * A letter from the host confirming that he or she will receive the applicant. * Documents justifying the grant request (quotes for travel and accommodation). *Selection criteria:* The criteria according to which funding will be decided are in order: * importance with regard to the research coordination objectives * inclusiveness target countries * age * gender * team with low resources * balance over the action life time between people, teams, countries and working groups. *Grant reception:* To receive the grant, a short scientific report must be submitted through the e-cost system along with the Host’s approval of the report, within 15 days after the end of the STSM. *Changing the dates of an STSM, or cancelling an STSM?* In case you need to change the dates of an accepted STSM, you need to inform the STSM coordinators as soon as possible and provide new dates so that the STSM ends before the end of October. In case you need to cancel an accepted STSM, you need to inform the STSM coordinators as soon as possible. For more information, see the website of the action https://europroofnet.github.io . Regards, Danijela Simic and Ambrus Kaposi EuroProofNet STSM Coordinators
