Supporting the Medical Education Reform in Ukraine

01.05.2017 - 30.06.2023

Sostegno della cooperazione internazionale nel campo della ricerca e dello sviluppo in Croazia

01.05.2017 - 31.05.2024

Per quanto riguarda gli investimenti in nuove tecnologie la Croazia si situa al di sopra della media rispetto ad altri Stati membri dell’UE. Tuttavia, con lo sviluppo di nuovi prodotti procede un po’ più a rilento. Le innovazioni sono un fattore importante per lo sviluppo economico e hanno un ruolo significativo per un Paese con un elevato tasso di disoccupazione. Per questo motivo la Svizzera sostiene, con un contributo di un milione di franchi, il programma Eurostars croato che rafforza la cooperazione internazionale nel campo della ricerca e dello sviluppo tra le piccole e medie imprese croate (PMI) e i partner europei.
