Strengthening R&I capacity through Internationalization  Team up with large infrastructures, eg. EIROFORUM: CERN, EMBL, EMBO, ESA…. Joining international research projects opens possibility of transferring knowledge, accessing new technologies, networking, boosting participation in the EU H2020 program, starting new companies  important for all countries  but small countries don’t even have an alternative
