EU and international co-operation
The international dimension is central to all of VINNOVA’s activities. In all its operational fields, VINNOVA sees international competitiveness and international co-operation as integral parts of its objectives and strategies. Within the framework of its programmes, VINNOVA identifies leading international research and innovation environments and encourages collaboration with these. Any evaluation of VINNOVA’s programmes and activities also covers the international dimension.
