Inclusiveness is a core objective of COST and of our SPRINT Action. SPRINT promotes and supports inclusiveness by promoting the participation of Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC) and of Early Career Investigators (ECI, an individual who is within 8 years from the date they obtained their PhD/doctorate).
