Short Term Scientific Missions is being organized by COST-Action PERIAMAR to help scientists contribute to ERA while allowing them to learn new techniques, gain access to specific data, instruments and methods not available in their own institutions/ organizations.

The COST Action PERIAMAR aims to design an environmental risk assessment procedure to avoid unacceptable impacts of pesticides to amphibians and reptiles. With this purpose, PERIAMAR has established a multidisciplinary network of scientists from research institutions, regulatory agencies, chemical industry, environment-focused NGOs, and research private business that will analyse the available information and design an ERA protocol for possible implementation in the future.

Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) are exchange visits aimed at supporting individual mobility, strengthening existing networks, and fostering collaboration between COST Action participants.
