STSMs are dedicated to more specific needs regarding e.g., a technical issue where members need to meet to resolve a particular issue.
STSMs are treated as continuous proposals by the Action Management Committee (MC) based on scientific, gender and early career criteria. The goal is to favour YRI and women, notably coming from ITC.
