      Vinnova's general priorities and objectives:

      Vinnova is tasked with promoting sustainable growth by improving the conditions for innovation. Improved conditions for innovation strengthen the capacity to reach the goals for sustainable development in Agenda 2030. Through our efforts, we contribute to the global commitment to reach the goals.

      Our work to contribute to the goals of Agenda 2030

      Gender equality is a prerequisite for sustainable growth and is found in Agenda 2030 as an objective in itself, but also as a perspective that should permeate the work with all objective. The call should therefore contribute to equal social development connected to two main perspectives:

      • One perspective is about both women and men taking part in the contribution and participating in and having influence over the project in an equal way.
      • The second perspective is about the project analyzing and deciding whether there are equality aspects (sex or gender) that are relevant within the solution's problem area and usefulness.

      Equal innovation for those looking for funding

      One aspect is that both women and men take part in the contribution, participate in and have influence over the project in an equal way. Another important aspect involves analyzing and deciding whether there are equality aspects (gender and/or gender) that are relevant within the solution's problem area and usefulness.

      Results from research and innovation that are made freely available provide increased opportunity for more people to contribute to solutions to societal challenges. The call should contribute to more results being made freely available to everyone and scientific publication should take place with open access.

    • The call is aimed at Swedish industry, academia, the public sector, institutes and idea-driven organizations seeking funds in ERA PerMeds's international call for proposals 2022.
