Bilateral cooperation

The Ministry of Higher Education and Science (UFM) seeks to promote bilateral cooperation between Denmark and a number of the world's largest investors in research and technology. This is made possible by bilateral agreements with the relevant authorities in these countries.

Bilateral co-operation in general

The bilateral agreements are supported by Innovation Centres in some of these countries. The role of the centres is to facilitate contacts and networking for researchers and high-tech companies.

UFM has bilateral agreements with the following countries: USA, China, Japan, Germany, South Korea, India, Brazil, Israel, South Africa and Turkey. UFM has Innovation Centres with posted innovation attachés in the USA, China, Germany, South Korea, India and Israel.

All cooperation agreements are accessible in pdf format. You can secure your copy by contacting the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Research (UFS).
