Explore our current and upcoming grant opportunities. Submit your application by the deadline and join our network of researchers advancing landscape architecture archives across Europe.
ConnectLAA organises networking activities through a Grant Awarding Process, which supports researchers and innovators in their mobility and in presenting at conferences organised by third parties.
The grant awarding and its implementation:
● Contribute to the visibility of ConnectLAA as an open, flexible, and inclusive funding programme;
● Offer a valuable experience for Young Researchers and Innovators as well as for established researchers in supporting their career development;
● Strengthen existing networks by allowing researchers and innovators to foster collaboration both in face-to-face and online settings, exchange knowledge, learn new techniques, disseminate the Action results, and more.
We invite you to follow the calls organised by ConnectLAA each year!

STSMs
Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) support research visits to a host institution in another country participating in the COST Action. They are an opportunity for researchers to gain new skills or knowledge not available at their home institution.
ITC Conference Grants
ITC Conference Grants support researchers from Inclusiveness Target Countries to give an oral presentation of their work at international conferences not organised by the COST Action. These grants help increase the visibility of both the researcher and the Action.
