Final call practicalities (preliminary)
1. Background of the call
Background – why is this relevant and topical?
 Age of economic crisis and volatility,
growing demand for sustainability
 Long-term decline of manufacturing,
but also some early signs of revival due
to:
• More widespread uptake of new and advanced
technologies?
• New attractors for homebound relocation of
R&D, production and innovation?
 Meanwhile industrial policies are
resurfacing while innovation policies
are re-inventing themselves
• In Finland e.g. forthcoming policy white paper on
renewal of manufacturing, SHOK and INKA
programs, in Sweden e.g. VINNOVAs new SIO
program
• In both countries focus on intangibility,
digitalization, bioeconomy, cities as platforms for
innovation and renewal
Renewal of manufacturing?

2. Some possible sub-themes
(not an exclusive list!)
Sub-themes…
 The project idea could address (i) the development of innovation
competences for using new and advanced enabling
technologies in manufacturing, including the potential
disruptiveness of these technologies at different levels of the
economy.
 The project idea could focus on (ii) the role and diffusion of
digitalization and the bioeconomy for renewing manufacturing
(including innovation competencies, other enabling factors and
bottlenecks).
 The project idea could also focus on the renewal of manufacturing
from the viewpoint of (iii) global value networks, including
attracting factors for homebound reshoring of innovation and
production.
Benchmarking Finland with Sweden and others?
 Project ideas including (iv) industrial and innovation policy
developments are also encouraged related to any of the issues
mentioned above.
• How can the uptake of enabling technologies be supported, how can
policies stimulate and spread new innovation competencies that are vital
for renewing manufacturing?
• How is the nature of innovation policy, instruments and RDI programs
changing across countries, how can/should/is the impact of these new
policies, instruments and programs being assessed?
• How can industrial policy topics become part of a new innovation policy
agenda that currently is being formulated in Finland and other countries?
• How is policy challenged by globalization and how can it contribute to
attractivity and the homebound relocation of production and innovation?
Benchmarking Finland with Sweden and others?
 Finally, the project idea could (v) reutilize available databases and
other quantitative data (for example survey data, register data,
Internet-based data) to extend ongoing research towards new
perspectives of relevance to the renewal of manufacturing
(including related services and other intangible value creating
processes).
• Can existing data be reassessed, extended or updated to provide new
insights on any of the topics suggested above?
• Are comparative data available abroad (e.g. in Sweden) which could be
utilized and compared to Finnish data, thereby adding new perspectives?
Benchmarking Finland with Sweden and others?

VINNOVA participation in the 2014 Tekes
Innovation Research call
Evaluation of
research proposals
• Tekes administrates the May pre-call for research proposals and the main call from June to
September.
(pre- & main)
• VINNOVA evaluates all proposals (both in the pre- and main calls) with a Swedish participation
together with Tekes.
• Acceptance of a joint Finnish-Swedish proposal (both in the pre- and main calls) is based on a
joint Tekes-VINNOVA decision.
Financing of
research projects
• VINNOVA has committed to provide research funding for the Swedish parts of consortia at a
level of up to maximum 5 MSEK per year during the two-year research period (i.e. in total for two
year projects around 1 MEURO). The exact amount will be dependent on the amount and quality
of submitted Finnish-Swedish proposals. This should allow for a small number of joint research
teams to operate throughout the period.
• Upon a joint research proposal being accepted in the main call phase, the Swedish part of the
consortium will submit a call for funding directly to VINNOVA through the “specific application”
(särskild ansökan) procedure. This will subsequently be granted.

hakemuslomakkeessa olevaa rakennetta
Rahoitustasot ja kriteerit (in Finnish, sorry…)
Innovaatioympäristöä palveleva tutkimus (innovaatiotutkimus) on suunnattu julkista tutkimusta harjoittaville organisaatioille
(Euroopan Yhteisön puitelainsäädännön tutkimus- ja kehitystyöhön sekä innovaatiotoimintaan myönnettävälle valtiontuelle
kuvaaman tutkimusorganisaation määritelmän mukaisesti). 95% rahoitustaso on mahdollinen valtion budjettitalouden ulkopuolella
oleville ja julkista tutkimusta harjoittaville organisaatioille.
Tekesin osuus
kokonaiskustannuksista*
60%
(perustaso)
70%
Kriteerit
Perustaso:
1. Innovaatiotutkimus, joka liittyy tämän vuoden teemaan ja painotuksiin
2. Relevanssi ja hyödynnettävyys
3. Kansainvälinen yhteistyö
Edellisten lisäksi korostetaan laaja ja tiivistä kansainvälistä yhteistyötä, johon liittyen alla
olevat kriteerit on myös täytettävä:
 Laaja yhteistyö tarkoittaa useita osaamisia ja ryhmiä yhdistävää tutkimusta,
kotimaisen työn osalta vähintään 5 htv:n hanketta
 Tiivis yhteistyö tarkoittaa joko tutkijaliikkuvuutta vähintään 2 htv, jossa tehdään
tutkimustyötä ulkomaisessa tutkimusryhmässä tai haetaan kansainvälinen
tutkimusosaaja tai asiantuntija Suomeen, tai kansainvälistä yhteishanketta
(yhteinen tutkimussuunnitelma, Tekes rahoittaa vain kotimaista osapuolta)
Tutkimussuunnitelmassa tulee kuvata yksityiskohtaisesti (mm. htv:n erittely) ja
konkreettisesti, miten laajaa ja tiivistä kv. yhteistyötä toteutetaan hankkeen aikana.
*Yritysrahoitusta ei vaadita innovaatiotutkimuksessa
