Reminder on Travel and Reimbursement issues

NEW Procedure @ eCOST

COST Office has introduced a Strong Authentication feature in e-COST, enabling Online

Travel Reimbursement Request (OTRR) forms to be submitted fully online. The new

feature is based on the release of 'One Time Passwords' similar to those used by some e-

banking systems.

The Online Travel Reimbursement Request (OTRR) allows each participant to directly

encode into e-COST the expenses incurred in relation to the attendance of COST Action

meetings, as well as to submit the supporting documents linked to the request, by

scanning them and attaching them to the Online Travel Reimbursement Request (OTRR).

=> no need to hand the form over during the MC meeting or send the hard copy by post

The OTRR is to be submitted only after the meeting took place. After the participant has

encoded the relevant expenses and uploaded the supporting documents, the participant will

be able to authenticate him/herself by providing the InWebo password, and submit the claim.

4. Status of the Action. Reimbursement

Training Workshop

Tentative title: Methods and Performance Metrics for Assessing Vehicular Communication Systems • To be held in conjunction with MCM in Dublin, tentative dates for

workshop: Jan. 26 (half day) until Jan. 27 (full day) • Objective: to explore the pros and cons of different options for assessing

performance of V2X communication, with emphasis on antenna systems

• Scope: cellular, Wi-Fi, and 802.11p (ITS-G5) are in scope.

• After attending the training school the attendees should be able to make an informed choice on what methods and metrics are preferable for the application at hand.

• Potentially, the outcome would be published as a white paper
