STSMs were organised (targeting primarily early-career investigators) each year, and were thematically focused in line with the five domains of exclusion. STSMs were hosted in European centres of excellence and situated early-career investigators within interdisciplinary research environments and allowed them the opportunity to avail of site specific training and develop collaborative projects and outputs.
