Swedish governmental policy on cooperation with state institutions in Russia and Belarus

The Swedish Government issued a statement on the 2 March that urged the suspension of all Swedish research collaboration with state institutions in Russia and Belarus. The Swedish Research Council is consequently investigating suspending all formalised collaborations in its areas of responsibility.

The importance of distinguishing between formalised collaboration across organisations/nations from individuals is emphasised by the Swedish government and The Swedish Research Council.
