Virtual Networking Tools
Virtual Networking Tools (VNTs) have been introduced by COST in April 2021. This project will run as a pilot until 31 October 2021. Virtual Mobility (VM) Grants aim at strengthening the existing networks by allowing the GYNOCARE COST participants to foster collaboration in a virtual setting, to exchange knowledge, learn new techniques, disseminate the Action results, etc.
A maximum of six VM Grants per Action will be funded (up to 1,500 EUR per grant, max 9,000 EUR). COST Action GYNOCARE re-allocated the budget to provide the funds for the VM Grants. A Virtual Mobility Strategy has been drawn out by the Action Chair and VNS manager of the GYNOCARE COST Action, to refect the aims and deliverables of this COST Action.
