Big Science Sweden - Data

Sweden finances 13 European Big Science facilities with approximately SEK 1.7 billion annually. These facilities carry out procurements of between 20 and 30 billion SEK each year.

As part of the Big Science Sweden consortium, funded by the Swedish Research Council and Vinnova, RISE helps Swedish companies, institutes and universities to collaborate and do business with these research facilities.
