Purpose and goal
SNITTS´ purpose is to strengthen the individuals operating in the national innovation support system. By developing the skills of the individuals and, together with our members, finding processes and methods to streamline research utilization, we help to create benefit for the society. The project has resulted in member growth and an increased number of collaborations. The biggest goal achievement was reached in the increased number of participants in our activities as well as our new target area, collaboration for innovation, which now is an integrated part of the SNITTS offering.
Expected results and effects
In 2017, 480 persons attended SNITTS’ educations and other activities. This number has increased by 170 persons compared to last year. In most activities, we observe a significant increase in participants compared to the beginning of the project.

Today SNITTS offers a strengthened professional development through enhanced formats, a broader target area and more collaboration partners.
