The COST Association organised the first awareness day for the Near Neighbour Countries (NNC) at the COST premises.
National representatives, mainly National Contact Points from the NNCs’ capitals, as well as representatives from the embassies of Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Jordan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Russia, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine attended the event.
During the awareness day, participants learned about the work of COST, the importance and impact of networking, and how COST Actions promote and spread excellence. They also gained knowledge about the opportunities offered by the COST networking tools, the rules of accessing COST Actions as well as potential financial support.
At the beginning of this year, COST built capacity in the NNCs from the Southern Mediterranean region during three different EU events, taking place in Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria. In addition, COST organised three Info Days in Jordan, Moldova and Georgia.
