SykesM. PavlidisD. Reis (PhD student)T. KristiansenB. CostasCOST Action FA1301 An inter-governmental framework for European CO-operation in Science and Technology, allowing thecoordination of nationally-funded research at the Europeanlevel. Plays a very important role in building an European ResearchArea (ERA). It anticipates and complements the activities ofthe EU Framework Programmes, constituting a “bridge”towards the scientific communities …www.cost.euCOST – What is it?1. COST: What is it?COST Action FA1301 Science Management Meetings (MC and WG) Scientific Workshops and Seminars Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) Training Schools and Research Conferences Dissemination (e.g. website, dissemination meeting, public displacement, etc...)COST Actions - TOOLS European COoperation in the field of Scientific and Technical ResearchCOST Action FA13012. COST FA 1301Global – Objectives COST Action FA1301 Implement general guidelines and experimental practices; accumulate data to improve and refine codes of practice for the use of cephalopods in research Development of new technologies and experimental approaches to promote the 3Rs principle  Coordination of on-going national research projects and new proposals (CoRP) Provide proper training on experimental practices, procedures also to facilitate DisseminationCOST Action FA13012.
