Hello from SIN Europe!

Welcome, Bienvenue, Välkomna and Hoşgeldiniz to the new blog for the Science & Innovation Network in Europe!

We are a diverse group of 22 officers working on science and innovation out of UK Embassies and Consulates across Europe, Russia and Turkey. We report on science and innovation policy developments in our respective countries and run projects across a range of areas to improve and increase collaboration with UK partners. Our blog should give you a flavour of the kind of work we do and an insight into how science and innovation systems work across the Europe region.

We aim to update this blog a couple of times a month with topics we hope you will find useful, interesting and, hopefully, inspiring.  We are lucky to work in a region rich in scientific heritage, world-class innovation and cutting edge technology – so there is plenty to keep you informed about!

We are here to foster exchange of ideas, help build collaboration and inform policy.  If any of our blogs pique your interest, then please get in touch directly with the officer for more details.  You can also subscribe to our monthly newsletter Snapshot and follow us on twitter.

Happy reading, and we look forward to receiving your comments!

Hej there! I'm Daniel Cartridge, a diplomat based at the British Embassy in Stockholm, and Head of the Science & Innovation Network in the Nordics. With my team, I look after the S&I relationship in the region, focussing on Sweden, Denmark and Finland, but also Norway and Iceland if we spot a great opportunity! Prior to joining the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, I worked on EU issues, trade and smart regulation at the Department for Business Innovation & Skills. I am currently trying to learn Swedish - but as I don't plan on blogging about giving directions, holidays and shopping I will probably stick to English on the blog! I look forward to sharing with you the S&I highlights of Scandinavia!
