Holistic perspective

The Parliament confirmed the strategy, giving support to its goals and overall ambition, thereby putting a formal closure to the process.

Strong support

The parliament also gives its support to the priorities expressed in the strategy, especially the importance of strong and competitive Research and Development environment within the space domain in Sweden.
