COST is the longest-running European framework supporting trans-national cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across Europe. It is a unique means for them to jointly develop their own ideas and new initiatives across all fields in science and technology, through pan-European networking of nationally funded research activities. 

COST Action TU 1402  strives to enhance the benefit of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) by novel utilization of applied decision analysis on how to assess the value of SHM – even before it is implemented.

COST Action TU 1406 aims to bring together, for the first time, both research and practicing community in order to accelerate the establishment of a European guideline in the area of quality specifications for roadway bridges.
