COST campaigns support scientific networks in which scientists from at least seven countries funded by COST participate. The basis is a joint work programme for a period of four years. The scientific topics are initiated "bottom-up" by the researchers. Funding for the network is up to 150,000 euros per year.

Funded are:

• Network activities / meetings / conferences
• Workshops and seminars
• Short scientific exchanges and training schools
• Traveling expenses
• Management activities
• Publications, websites and the dissemination of the results
