COSPAR CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOPS

About COSPAR Scientific Structure Meetings Publications Awards Associated Supporters Associates Links

COSPAR organizes a series of capacity building workshops with various partners in order to convey practical knowledge in areas of interest to COSPAR and to build lasting bridges between scientists. For information about the workshop objectives, scientific programs, funding, practical requirements, and how to submit proposals, please see the COSPAR Capacity Building Workshop guidelines. Workshops held to date or in the organizing stages are listed below.

To enable young scientists who have been participants of one of the COSPAR Capacity Building workshops to build on skills gained, the Committee also organizes fellowships. This program provides for visits of 2-4 weeks duration for the purpose of carrying out joint research at laboratories which collaborate with COSPAR for this project. Please see the description of the Fellowship Program for more information.
