On 12th June 2026, COST celebrated a major milestone: six years of the COST Innovators Grants (CIGs).
Representatives from 15 CIG networks took to the stage to present their findings, share their experiences and demonstrate the power of collaborative innovation.
As part of the main agenda, EurofamNet’s CIG project was presented, diving into the implementation across Europe of a quality assurance protocol for family support services, developed as an evidence-based and culturally informed model for professional practice.
Furthermore, the conference program featured presentations from EIT Jumpstarter innovators and a closing round table dedicated to discussing the way forward, exploring how networks can ensure their sustainability, as well as assessing how the CIG has benefited these projects.
