Dear Colleagues,
despite our motivation and efforts, the recent COST application for a new network has not been selected in the actual call. Our project has achieved a very good score, but competiton is rude with only 25 successful Actions covering all topics and domains. But as you will see in this newsletter there are however plenty of activities, events, and an impressive job offer list !
