COST Actions

COST is the longest-running European framework supporting trans-national cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across Europe.

COST funds pan-European, bottom-up networks of scientists and researchers across all science and technology fields (COST does not set any research priorities). These multi- and interdisciplinary networks, called 'COST Actions', promote international coordination of nationally funded research. COST supports high-risk, innovative and emerging research themes.

COST does not fund research itself, but provides support for networking activities carried out within COST Actions. COST Actions are very oriented towards engaging the next generation of young researchers.

COST Actions are active through a range of networking tools, such as meetings, workshops, conferences, training schools, short-term scientific missions (STSMs) and dissemination activities. COST Actions are open to researchers at any career stage from universities, public and private research institutions, as well as to NGOs, industry and SMEs. Actions can expand, as researchers from new countries can join in during the first three years. On the basis of mutual benefit, Near Neighbour Countries and International Partners Countries may join.

To learn more about participating in COST Actions, please visit the Participate page.

COST invites researchers throughout Europe to submit proposals for COST Actions through a continuous Open Call

Researchers can also apply to join an existing COST Action or become involved in various COST Action activities.

FRACTIONAL CA15225: Fractional-order systems; analysis, synthesis and their importance for future design

cost_generic logo

Specific programme: COST – European Cooperation in Science and Technology
UPV/EHU Partner Status: Member of Management Committee
UPV/EHU PI: Karmele Lopez de Ipiña
Project start: 03/10/2016
Project end:   02/10/2020

Brief description: Fractional-order systems have lately been attracting significant attention and gaining more acceptance as generalization to classical integer-order systems. Mathematical basics of fractional-order calculus were laid nearly 300 years ago and since that it has gained deeply rooted mathematical concepts. Today, it is known that many real dynamic systems cannot be described by a system of simple differential equation or of integer-order system. In practice we can encounter such systems in electronics, signal processing, thermodynamics, biology, medicine, control theory, etc. The Action will favour scientific advancement in above mentioned areas by coordinating activities of academic research groups towards an efficient deployment of fractal theory to industry applications. The cooperation of researchers from different institutions will guarantee wide visibility of Action results.
