Printed in Belgium COST-TRANSPORT PROJECTS
This is the fifteenth publication in the Transport Research series, which includes final reports
and proceedings of seminars on COST projects in the transport field.
Twenty-five European countries1 are currently involved in COST, the acronm standing for
European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research. The COST
programme as a whole covers pre-competitive research in fifteen areas, one of which is
transport.
It operates as follows:
Each COST project deals with a specific research topic.
A proposal for a project can be put forward at any time either by one or more
participant countries or by one or more research bodies in such countries.
Once five or more countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, the
project is put in hand. Participation is voluntary; only signatories, however, can take
part in the project.
COST projects in practice take the form of concerted action. The COST structure
provides administrative and financial support for the cooperative dimension, but the
actual research receives no European funding; work is carried out and funded at the
national level but organized at the European level towards a common objective.
Each COST project is overseen by a Management Committee.
Projects vary in length, generally running for between two and five years.
COST is not part of the European Community but gets substantial Community
support for its work.
COST projects are often complementary to Community research programmes, or
may be integrated into such programmes.
For the COST framework as a whole, a Committee of Senior Officials sets out its general
strategy, establishes and oversees its working rules and has the final say on the setting up
of COST actions.
A Technical Committee on Transport sponsors and selects proposals for projects,
coordinates the groundwork for those selected, overseas their implementation by the
Management Committees and ensures the effective dissemination and follow-up of the
results.
