Vinnova International Collaboration

Vinnova International Collaboration sits under Vinnova, Sweden's Innovation Agency, as the route for Swedish participation in international R&D consortia. The record groups together EUREKA Eurostars, M-ERA.NET, planning support for international proposals, Horizon Europe support, and bilateral partnerships with agencies in Japan, Korea, the Czech Republic, and other countries. The annual pool is estimated at about SEK 250 million. The program uses grants, usually through linked international calls rather than a single standing award. Planning grants are capped at SEK 300,000 for participants and SEK 500,000 for coordinators, while M-ERA.NET can reach a total Swedish share of SEK 3.5 million per project. Eligibility runs to Swedish-registered and Swedish-operating organisations, for-profits and non-profits alike, with consortia required and a TRL range that reaches from early development to demonstration. The strongest applications are built around a real foreign call, a clear Swedish role, and partners that can move quickly from planning to submission. Vinnova's value here is not just cash but also the national contact role that helps Swedish teams navigate Eurostars, Horizon Europe, and the bilateral programs into which the cooperation fits.
