Cet appel concerne toutes les disciplines des Sciences Humaines et Sociales.

Un résumé des propositions (1500 à 2000 caractères) doit être envoyé au secrétariat du programme COST (jzhu@cost.esf.org) le 22 septembre 2004 au plus tard.

Cordialement,

===========================
The European Science Foundation Standing Committee for the Humanities is pleased to announce the new

Call for Proposals for COST Actions within Social Sciences and Humanities.

Cost is an intergovernmental European framework for international co-operation between nationally-founded research activities created in 1971, governed by the COST CSO and supported by the EU Framework Programme.

COST supports coordination of scientific networks (Actions) and dissemination of their results, thus enabling scientists to collaborate in a wide spectrum of activities in research and technology.

COST Actions cover basic and pre-competitive research as well as activities of public utility. Scientists themselves, following the 'bottom-up' principle, propose new Actions making COST an attractive forum for new and emerging topics.

The COST Office, operated by the European Science Foundation (ESF), provides scientific and administrative support to the COST Technical Committees and COST Actions.

The Secretariat General to the Council of the European Union provides the secretariat to the CSO.
More information is available at the following address:

The COST Technical Committee of Social Sciences and Humanities invites proposals for new Actions (scientific networks).

The Actions may fall within, or span, any of the disciplines of Social Sciences and Humanities.
Any expert of the 34 COST countries
(http://cost.cordis.lu/src/whatiscost.cfm) or the cooperating country (Israel) may submit a proposal, on behalf of a group of researchers.
