New COST Action research network by Associate Professor Kristian Sandberg

A COST Action proposal by Associate Professor Kristian Sandberg, CFIN, has been approved by The European Cooperation in Science and Technology for support of networking activities.

The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides funding for the creation of research networks, called COST Actions. These networks offer an open space for collaboration among scientists across Europe (and beyond) and thereby give impetus to research advancements and innovation. The COST Action proposal of Associate Professor Kristian Sandberg has been approved and will support networking activities related to Neuroarchitectural mapping of consciousness over the next 4 years.

The proposal scored maximum points on 13 out of 15 evaluation parameters, achieving a total score of 63 out of 65 possible points. The budget is to be determined annually depending on the number of participating countries but is expected to be in the range of €400,000-500,000 in total across 4 years.

The objectives and organizational structure of the COST Action is highly similar to those of the SkuldNet consortium – directed by Kristian Sandberg – and, as such, the grant is expected to be an important source of funding for networking activities of SkuldNet researchers, many of whom are COST Action Participants.

The grant supports a wide range of networking activities – incl. meetings, workshops, and research stays of up to 6 months – mainly between researchers based in Europe. In general, the COST Action is thus able to support networking activities for a number of SkuldNet researchers engaged in neuroarchitectural mapping of consciousness, but also supports non-consortium activities. The Action is open, and it is possible to participate in the ongoing project:
