The Top-level Research Initiative (TRI) is the largest joint Nordic research and innovation initiative to date. The initiative aims to involve the very best agencies and institutions in the Nordic region, and promote research and innovation of the highest level, in order to make a Nordic contribution towards solving the global climate crisis.
The Top-level Research Initiative consists of six sub-programmes.
- Effect studies and adaptation to climate change
- Interaction between climate change and the cryosphere
- Energy efficiency with nanotechnology
- Integration of large-scale wind power
- Sustainable bio-fuels
- CO2 - capture and storage
VINNOVA takes an active part in the last four of these sub-programmes.
