Short-term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are exchange visits for researchers within their Action. This exchange program facilitates individuals to spend up to six months at an institution or laboratory based in a different country, which is also part of the Action. STSMs are great opportunities for researchers to share techniques and gain skills that may not be available at their home institution or laboratory.

STSM Grant provides a contribution for traveling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, implementation of the project, delivery of the report to the COST Action MC, and overall effort. The maximum amount is EUR 4 000 per grant.  The allocated budget is EUR 15 000 (together with VMGs).

Any subject related to the PROBE objectives and contributing to the PROBE deliverables can be an STSM topic. This includes various aspects of instrument operations or development, data processing and quality control, product development, or scientific applications. Either the researcher or the host institution can propose a specific topic for collaboration.

Virtual Mobility strengthens the existing networks by allowing individual participants to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge, learn new techniques, etc. These activities do not necessarily require in-person presence and may include surveys, questionnaires, preparation of protocols, virtual mentoring of activities that can generate capacity, build new skills, etc.

Virtual Mobility Grant provides a contribution for the overall effort, not necessarily covered by an employer. The maximum amount is EUR 1 500 per grant.  The allocated budget is EUR 15 000 (together with STSMs).

ITC Conference consists in a presentation of the own work given by a Young Researcher and Innovator (up to the age of 40) affiliated in an Inclusiveness Target Country / Near Neighbour Country for their participation in high-level conferences fully organized by a third party. The main subject of the presentation must be a topic relevant to the PROBE. The current list of ITCs can be found at https://www.cost.eu/about/strategy/excellence-and-inclusiveness/.

ITC Conference Grant provides a contribution for traveling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fee, printing of scientific poster, and overall effort. The maximum amount is EUR 2 000 per grant for face-to-face conferences or EUR 500.00 for virtual conferences.  The allocated budget is EUR 3 500.

Dissemination Conference consists in an oral presentation by an Action Participant of the work of the Action in high-level conferences fully organized by a third party. The presentation should significantly increase the visibility of the Action in the research community, attract additional participants and stakeholders, and disseminate Action results to relevant end-users.

Dissemination Conference Grant provides a contribution for travelling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fee, and overall effort. The maximum amount is EUR 2 000 per grant for face-to-face conferences or EUR 500.00 for virtual conferences.  The allocated budget is EUR 8 000.
