Read MoreThe second call for Short Term Scientific Missions
This is the second call for Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) within BigSkyEarth COST Action. Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) are exchange visits aimed at supporting individual mobility, strengthening existing networks and fostering collaboration between researchers. A STSM should specifically contribute to the scientific objectives of the COST Action, whilst at the same time allowing those partaking in the missions to learn new techniques, gain access to specific data, instruments and/or methods not available in their own institutions/organisations.
STSM applicants must be engaged in an official research programme as a PhD Student or postdoctoral fellow or can be employed by, or affiliated to, an Institution or legal entity which has within its remit a clear association with performing research. The institutions/organisations where applicants pursue their main strand of research are considered as Home institutions. The Host institution is the institution/organisation that will host the successful applicant.
Why Should My Company Join Big-Sky-Earth?
The fields of astronomy and earth observation are both significant beneficiaries of recent developments in computer science, statistics, and data analysis that broadly fall under the term big data. Big-Sky-Earth is a Horizon 2020 funded COST network designed to bring these three communities together, boosting communication within and between the communities, and identifying common solutions to challenges faced in research and industry across them.
