“COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020”, COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental framework. Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and technological developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities. It allows researchers, engineers and scholars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research intensive countries to the knowledge hubs of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-for-profit Association under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative 10 functions necessary for the operation of the framework. The COST Association has currently 36 Member Countries. www.cost.eu ISBN 978-94-017-7495-6 ISBN 978-94-017-7496-3 DOI 10.1007/978-94-017-7496-3
