Programmes COSTOn 19 May 2025, the COST Commitee of Senior Officials (CSO) has approved 70 new COST Actions (results from OC-2024-1) that will have their first kick-off meetings between mid-September and beginning of November 2025. An overview of the newly approved COST Actions can be found in this booklet.
All COST Member States (including Belgium) are part of new COST Actions once approved by the CSO. Researchers and innovators in Belgium can directly participate in these new COST Actions. Applications for participation to the working groups of the COST Actions can be submitted through the e-cost platform and are subjected to the approval of the management committee of the COST Action. Working groups perform the tasks required by the COST Action to fulfil the objectives of the network’s project plan.
When submitting an application for participation to the working groups you can also indicate your wish to be part of the management committee. The management committee supervises and coordinates the proper implementation and management of the respective COST Action. Applications for participation to the management committee are however subjected to an additional national application procedure. Please contact FWO for further guidance regarding the application procedure for participation in the management committee. Each COST Member State can nominate up to two national representatives in the management committee of a COST Action. On page 5 of the rules for COST Actions (level B) document you will find more information about the role and responsibilities of the management committee members.
Please note that it is strongly advised and encouraged to contact the main proposer or chair of the COST Action in advance if you would like to join the new COST Action to discuss your participation and contribution to the COST Action and in which capacity. More information and contact details for the 70 newly approved COST Actions will be available on the COST Website as from 12 June 2025 onwards.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
