About COST
Founded in 1971, COST – European Cooperation in Science
and Technology – is the first and widest European framework
for the transnational coordination of nationally funded
research activities. It is based on an inter-governmental
agreement between 35 European countries.
COST enables break-through scientific developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby
contributes to strengthen Europe’s research and innovation capacities.
It is a unique means for European researchers to jointly develop their own ideas and new initiatives across all
scientific disciplines through trans-European networking of nationally funded research activities.
COST key features are:
      building capacity by connecting high-quality scientific communities throughout Europe and worldwide;
      providing networking opportunities for early career investigators
      increasing the impact of research on policy makers, regulatory bodies and national decision makers as
     well as the private sector.
Through its inclusiveness, COST supports integration of research communities, leverages national research
investments and addresses issues of global relevance.
As a precursor of advanced multidisciplinary research, COST plays a very important role in building a
European Research Area (ERA). It anticipates and complements the activities of the EU Framework
Programmes, constituting a “bridge” towards the scientific communities of emerging countries. It also
increases the mobility of researchers across Europe and fosters the establishment of scientific excellence in
the nine key domains:
      Biomedicine and Molecular Biosciences
      Food and Agriculture
      Forests, their Products and Services
      Materials, Physics and Nanosciences
      Chemistry and Molecular Sciences and Technologies
      Earth System Science and Environmental Management
      Information and Communication Technologies
      Transport and Urban Development
      Individuals, Societies, Cultures and Health
In addition, Trans-Domain Proposals allow for broad, multidisciplinary proposals to strike across the nine
scientific domains.
COST is funded through the EU RTD Framework Programmes.
About Transport and Urban Development (TUD)
TUD fosters research coordination in the fields of transport and the built environment,
which play a strategic role in the modern society and economy.
The Domain is by definition cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary, encompassing a wide
range of scientific expertise within the transport and land use planning, design, and
management activities with a special emphasis on the strong interrelationships among
the relevant policy fields as well on all aspects related to sustainable development.
The domain activities should be innovative and complementary to other European
programmes in the relevant fields. The aim is to cover both basic and applied research activities including
technical and technological developments and their changeovers that are relevant to policy and decision
making processes.
A significant concern is devoted to activities exploring new research needs and developments.
About COST Action TU 1207
Construction is rapidly becoming the leading outlet for FRP composites. Although the use of composite
materials in construction started in the 1980s, civil engineers only recently started gaining confidence in this
technology for use in primary structural applications. Despite the considerable technological developments in
this field, there are still key scientific and logistical issues that need to be addressed for the widespread
acceptance in construction. For example, existing design recommendations are largely based on work carried
out more than fifteen years ago on first generation reinforcing products and their conservativeness is
hindering the development of innovative and more efficient products and design solutions.
This Action aims to:
     coordinate European research in the field
     develop and maintain a critical mass of researchers
     offer a link between academia and industry
     develop a new generation of design guidelines based on European Standards
This will facilitate the adoption of European products not only in Europe but also internationally and help
Europe stay one step ahead of International competitors.
